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?

@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.

It's always been par for the coarse in high end audio, where there are those perfectionist who like to measure everything up and down and from side to side.  As they say, "it takes every kind of people."  And high end audio is no exception.  Me personally, in over 40 years in high end audio, I never once purchased a single audio component based on how it measured.  I never cared.  I always followed my ears and my heart.  Happy listening.
