I will tell you from experience that if you put us all blind folded in a room with a fabulous system every single one of us would agree that it was an excellent system.All your post made sense only around the definition of the word " fabulous"...
It resemble a sophism...
All people around a system blindfolded will acclaim a truly fabulous system.... And a fabulous system is truly fabulous if all people blindfold could claim that it is....
Because we are all biased of course....
But no need to be blindfolded to train his biases...It is called education...
And consciousness can erase pain....Or the opposite....
Thomas Aquinas with bad teeth did not suffer when praying when someone would put off his bad teeth.......
Some people one morning discover the mystic Mary Magdalene de Pazzi ( the most beautiful woman in Italy at the times ) in ectasy with his hand freeze in a bucket of ice after washing the laundry and forgetful of the world suddenly ... Where is the pain? In his consciousness/body like a servant around his master....
Consciousness is older than pain...An angel or a yogi perhaps whisper it to my ears just now....It seems my angel/yogi contradict evolutive biology... Perhaps not.... Perhaps consciousness is at the same time LESS and MORE...
And perhaps audio experience is also at the same time less AND more....Like the acoustical sleeping shephard/ princess waiting for the audiophile prince to kiss her before becoming a Queen ...
