@mahgister @deludedaudiophile OP here. Let's give some others a chance to chime in. You must have said everything that needs to be said by now. Thanx.
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
I just can't clear my head of this. I don't want to start a measurements vs listening war and I'd appreciate it if you guys don't, but I bought a Rogue Sphinx V3 as some of you may remember and have been enjoying it quite a bit. So, I head over to AVS and read Amir's review and he just rips it apart. But that's OK, measurements are measurements, that is not what bugs me. I learned in the early 70s that distortion numbers, etc, may not be that important to me. Then I read that he didn't even bother listening to the darn thing. That is what really bugs me. If something measures so poorly, wouldn't you want to correlate the measurements with what you hear? Do people still buy gear on measurements alone? I learned that can be a big mistake. I just don't get it, never have. Can anybody provide some insight to why some people are stuck on audio measurements? Help me package that so I can at least understand what they are thinking without dismissing them completely as a bunch of mislead sheep.

Great post! You are right but some dont understand what a "process" means...A process is a two way road between O and S perspectives... They want to reduce subjective experience to objective measures without being conscious that psycho-acoustic is a progressive science which cannot be reduced to electronics...

I am curious... Each post being a written post, how my posts can intimidate someone who have anything meaningful to say to say it? Am i not polite in my reply? Your thread is alive because we participate... Silencing deludedaudiophile is not a good idea either... Do you need to control what you want to hear? Or are you open to discussion?
