No one can contest the useful analysis of gear made by someone like Amir...
The problem is in the IDEOLOGICAL general stance...
No one can contest the importance first and last of perceiving subjectivity by audiophiles...
The problem is in the general IDEOLOGICAL stance...
Amir like an audiophile look at the gear not at the room...The focus of their attention in the two groups is the brand name gear, one measure it the other think he hear the gear alone and taste it...
Acoustic is forgotten by the two groups...is it not comical?
I myself experimented the fact that most of PERCEIVED S.Q. is an acoustic and psycho-acoustic phenomena...Not mainly an electrical engineering one...
Then correlating objective measures and the guiding subjectivity at play is the crux of the matter...
Anyway i dont use non acoustical tool , i am not an electrical engineer, and i know that sound dont come from the gear alone in my room but from the gear+room...
Then i stay mute when the 2 cultist groups will battle between them but it is difficult to stay silent for me....
The two group are the same RCA conditioned dog, sometimes he listen directly to the gramophone and sometimes the dog measure it oblivious each time of the room acoustic and psycho-acoustic phenomena...
the two groups are the results of the same market conditioning...
