I am amazed by the stupidity of some so called experts...
They are no more wise than the crowds they despise about his ignorance...
Now think about that : what is an "expert" out of his expertise field ?
A man in the crowd, as ignorant in other fields than any man taken by chance from the crowd...
An "expert" in audio must be specialized, then do he know all aspect of acoustic , psycho-acoustic , electricity and dac and amplification and speakers or headphone electronic and physical design , software engineering, recording engineering, physics, neurology of hearing, music , and some other field i forgot ?
No he does not ...
What is a sound ?
How do we hear ?
What do we hear ?
Even today these questions did not have unanimous definitive answer... And in ANY unanimous consensus in science there may be an imprevisible revolution coming soon ....
For example "placebo" and "biases" .... These concepts are very complex and most people using them against audiophiles dont even know what are the complex implication of their meaning ...These critics means "illusion" and "deception" when they use this sophisticated concepts generally in a simplistic unilateral way against audiophile ...
Myself i decided few years ago to experiment to learn a bit and have fun ...
There is no "experts" in audio who understand all aspect of audiophile experience...
We must consult expert for some specific answer coming from their expertise for sure.....
The rest is fun experiment in which we ourselves learn...
