A lot of what interests me is how we perceive and why. Like whether you like cilantro or not, or IPAs. My personal love of both has no bearing on the truth of beer tasting, but I find it fascinating some taste cilantro like soap, or conversely, that there are audio brands which to me taste like soap, and to others delicious salsa. Is it learned? Is it in the ear? Fun stuff.

Audio experiences reflect tastes in the choices of some components like any experience we immerse voluntarily ourselves...And we can think about why and how...But this is psychology...

The truth is audio experience ultimately is not "founded" on tastes at all... "Tasting" a particular audio system is an anecdotal event... Creating a top Hi-Fi audio system has nothing at all to do with tastes first...It is not even only engineering... :)


Science will gives you the directions, your ears will correlate all different materials and apparatus, and the different controlled grids in an optimal design particular to your own house, room and gear...

To summarize you, @Mahgister:

Erik is wrong, and only I know what is right.

Did I read that correctly?  You are negating my own process and experience, and saying it can't be useful or correct?

I dont gives a dam about the speakers I listen to, nor the dac, nor the amplifier.

What exactly is the reason you are here then, @mahgister?  What is it you are here to talk about and share?

I only expose rationally my own experiences...

I apologize but I dont know you and I really only enthusiastically speak my mind...This is called discussion...

My intention was never to write what you just write on my behalf:

Erik is wrong, and only I know what is right.

Writing X is wrong, had no sense at all, nobody can be wrong on all counts, nor right on all counts....Neither you nor me...

If I must be corrected on the point I just write about go for it, I will listen to you with pleasure... My best...

The tour idea sounds like a hoot but my opinion of short term “ shootouts “ is pretty low, especially since to few here understand or conduct level matching
