Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with?
So I joined this forum in 2006 because I value others opinions. But in a recent thread @kuribo states the following below…. Personally I value everyone’s opinions especially in different types of systems and rooms. Yes it’s just an opinion. But to me it’s useful. Am I wrong to think that?
Copy and paste from @Kuribo
“How do you define "superiority"? Of course all you have read here are subjective opinions because the vast majority of people here either believe their opinion actually has relevance to those besides themselves or they believe the opinions of others have relevance to themselves.”
@wolf_garcia gthose silver speaker cables you have are creating some envy. |
A bad map that gets you to the right place is a good map. Was the bad map created with 10% perspective and 10% opinion - maybe. An understanding that opinion, perspective and whole system affect are built into any map given needs to be afforded. We fall into a hole when we are not certain about the right place - and question where we are standing. I think this is more clear with music suggestions. Anytime someone recommends an album, we look at what else that person likes and see if it aligns with our taste. If it aligns, we take the suggestion in. Same thing with equipment. If the opinion comes from a system owner that is similar to our system, we take it in. I once had a philosophy professor who would mark up papers if your wrote ‘I believe’ or ‘I think’. Everything you write or state is what you believe or think - nothing more and nothing less. To write down ‘I believe’ at the bringing of a statement is redundant and worse yet is an attempt to give more credence to the statements you didn’t start with ‘I believe’. Good life lesson. |
Blind testing has nothing to do with anything. IMO either you hear a difference - hopefully significant or you don't. If you don't hear a difference that you prefer in your own system, then move on. We have a simple rule when we demonstrate our components, if you do not hear a significant difference within 30 seconds. just send it back to us. Happy Listening. |
