ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS


Is it just me or am I the only one that has had it with overly pushy audiophiles that push measurements as the end all be all. I’m not talking about healthy discussions on measurements but obnoxious ones that talk down to you because of the measurements of your system or equipment is not perfect for them? All cables and cords are snake oil to them if it doesn’t register on their meters? Am I the only that feels this way?

I've built my system for my own pleasure, whether it meets some other person's objective or subjective criteria for quality doesn't phase me in the least. Have to admit in my younger days there were times when I let other's dictate my choices. As one progresses along their own path the need for other's approval lessens. I suppose if one is failing along these lines other's judgements will have far more impact.

@coralkong you summed it up in a nutshell.  I’m tired of it too. Why do they do that. Look we invest at different levels in this hobby. I get so sick of people trying to show how much much smarter than we are because they spent less money and we are foolish because we spent more money. Jeez! 

Measurements for many implies logic. Unfortunately that is a simplistic/flawed approach when building a HEA system.
