What covid research can teach us about audio measurements.

Why do those who dismiss measurements in audio not realize that even gear designed without measurements is made up of parts that must be measured and must meet spec? Your hand-built loudspeakers are made of carefully designed and measured parts as are your amps and all things audio. You may not think that measurements matter but they sure as hell do when anything is constructed. Even the plywood and fasteners must meet well-measured specs. 

I do not think people are dismissing measurements wholesale. There are other influences or factors in audio. The ranges are more dynamic.

You can have carefully designed parts and measured parts that can sound awful together in execution. This is the case in any design and in general in engineering, this is why we validate, validate, validate. Design and build is objective, consumption is subjective, meaning there is more bias from the consumer or end user. 

What a dignified response.

Way to keep it classy! So if people disagree with your agenda they are mental defects? Should they be sent to camps? 

That's rich coming from someone I called out for making anti-Semitic remarks. Just look how he, ozzy and whitefish all group together. Fish in a barrel. Hey, that gives me an idea!

How could you be sure that any audio product matched its prototype without measurements? Don't audiophiles look at measured specs when buying? Or do those who disregard measurements as having any useful meaning just buy on looks and costs? Pretty sure many of those who dismiss are looking closely at published specs when buying.

Funny.
