ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements.


Found this interesting and puts some things in perspective.

I know this can be a very emotional topic here and I see it as relevant. 

Measurements do play a part in my decision process.

I go 100% by listening; I couldn't tell you the measurements of much of anything in my listening chain. That stuff has just never interested me. 

If they're useful to many people, and I know they are, great, but that does not mean they need be useful to everybody.

@larsman I feel the same way about my cholesterol. If I feel good, the numbers don’t matter at all. (Same with my driving speed. Don't consult the odometer...ever! I know what seems right in the circumstances!)

@hilde45 - that's an excellent point, except that nothing in my audio chain can kill me or anybody else if left unchecked. 

@larsman Good point, but I don't think that I need measurements for those things -- my common sense is good enough for them and also for audio. Nothing is at stake because common sense is all I need!

@hilde45 - Common sense is good! And I've got enough common sense to get regularly checked out medically. My medical conditions have nothing at all to do with my audio system, but there ya go!
