Dear Mapman: +++++ " are you saying basically to trust your own ears? " +++++
not exactly and not so simple. I trust in my very long training process that was/is already tested under any " real " audio environment here at my place and in several ( dozens+ ) other audio systems, including the Albert one, testing any audio item or whole system you can imagine.
My ears are only part of that testing process and certainly a trusty tool. I'm trained on purpose not at random, the process follow a discipline at each process stage.
Till today that process show it his value, confidence and validity when repetition is need it. I can't remember any significant fail on the process in any test with any audio item in any audio system.
Yes, IMHO and due to my in deep training that process is " bullet proof ". Is it the best out there?, certainly not but is the one with almost 100% of success.
Some Agoner's are witness of its effectivity and could give a testimony about.
Have I golden ears? can I hear better that other people?, no it is only that I have a procedure a self training procedure/process where I know exactly what to look for and how find out or not, " simple " as that.
This testing/evaluation process permit me to have audio conclusion in hours when other people needs weeks or months to do it. Btw, in anyway IMHO if you are unaware in the first listening hours of the main virtues and " errors " of the audio item under evaluation then over the time you just can't do it in precise way.
I can't explain step by step all the evaluation/test procedure/process and there are " things " that even I can't explain how I can discern on it other that my day to day training.
Btw, my first step, out of my place, is to heard/hear the system by 15-20 minutes through digital source. One of the main/critical factors in the process is to have/choose the right music tracks on LP's/ CD's and the knowledge level on those recordings.
regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
