With odd exception, everything you are posting about is cause. You are spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find potential causes, while ignoring the most important thing is effect. Listening is effect. What happens inside our head is cause. What we hear is effect. Trying to come up with causes without showing a conclusive effect is a thought exercise.
If you remember i do not contradicted your perspective...
I claimed that only psycho-acoustic explain sound experience... Not electronic design industry alone, it is based on psycho-acoustic research anyway at the end or on a basic hearing theory...
When we listen a piece of gear in a specific room, with our specific ears , with many components, we must learn how to perceive and analyse what we perceived in acoustic term...Reading specs sheets is no more enough here...
It is what i am interested in, in audio experience...Specific gear brand name is not my primary interest...Nor upgrading...
The idea that designer must SEPARATE cause and effect and not confuse them is trivial evidence...But the idea that all sound experience by someone to be valuable must be proved by electrical measures alone is meaningless in an audio forum...And meaningless because it takes also other science like acoustic to complete the description and explanation of the experience...
All my point is it will help audiophile to experiment with acoustic and psycho-acoustic to understand their own experience in a room ...
And yes for sure i am guilty of posting interesting theories about the brain and music, and numbers, etc which are specualation and experiments about "hypothetical" causes, not concrete designer day to day matter...
But at least i post interesting matter to say the least for at least i hope one reader....
Perhaps i presume too much... 😁😊
