Do you trust your ears more than measurements?


I have a lot of audiophiles that say the ear test is the best. I believe them. Some of us have to do blind tests etc. I’m in the camp of trusting your own ears because no matter how something measures. Is it more pleasing to you with a particular cable, placement tweak etc. What are your thoughts everyone?

@mdalton oh but they do have car wash mixes. Certain soaps that are hotter for cleans and then cooler mixes that are cooler for sheens. Each at a price tier. Lol seriously, its similar to audio.

Please read what i wrote or learn how to read...

I am not "more evolved" as you just suggested , i said we must learn how to hear with acoustics studies...Then the look of the gear and their price will no more be a so powerful magnet for our ignorance...

I dont understand your rant about women right...

 

@mahgister

you are clearly way more evolved than I am!

@mahgister 

that’s called a “joke”.  equality of women should be noncontroversial, agreed?

Oups!😊

I just get it...

I am not very good at catching humor in english,...

I apologize...

I wish you the best and i hope you will forgive my lack of humor and lack of understanding... 😁

no, no, no! my apologies. I know English is not your first language, so that was a little cryptic (unclear) on my part.  The joke was really an homage to your ability not to get fooled by bias.  It’s a wonderful, powerful strength.
