I’m a try before you buy kind of guy at this point
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?
I ask the question. Because I have had several discussions on Audiogon where certain posters will try to tell another person what they can or can’t hear in a system. Most of the time never hearing or having experiences either the piece of equipment, cables etc. It is usually against those that spend money on more expensive equipment and cabling. Why is this so prevalent.

False opposition for me. I’m interested in the science of it because I listen to music. There can be a connection between the science and the immersive experience of the music. Perhaps this analogy will ring true: no one who bakes at higher altitudes dismisses those little scientific hints about adjusting the temperature. Just because there are crackpots out there with bad or pseudo-scientific advice about baking doesn’t make me ignore the relevant and helpful scientific advice. And I pay attention because following it makes the food "just taste better." Of course, maybe the point of this discussion is to shake a fist at "those damn measurement people." Not my bag, man. |
@hilde45 glad that works for you. If it measures perfectly and my ear doesn’t like it. IT’S OUTTA THERE. IT’S USELESS. Music is a get away for me. It’s not work or a science. It’s an experience. Anyone who disagrees with me on that part of it. We are not the same or seeking the same. But if it works for them im not going to judge thier knowledge or experience. Just don’t tell me I’m not hearing what I’m hearing. |
