100% true. But, this works both ways. For the "objectivists" too
Absolutely. If I say 2 dacs sound the same I will add if it's simply a subjective opinion or one I have tested.
This thread isn't about cable A sounds better than cable B to John Doe but why will some claim A is sounds different than B yet measure the same. Are there unknown measurements we need to make? My point is bias has to be eliminated to see if the reason is bias or some unknown before we can begin to investigate this unknown as a real factor. Share whatever impressions you want but if someone is asking for RELEVANT feedback on a component my or anyones subjective opinion isn't really worth squat.
