Agree or disagree with the following statement.


Trying to get some input on an issue that a few of us are debating.

Statement:

If you have never listened to any particular component, you can't have an opinion on how it sounds.

Answer:

I don't agree with that. Measurements provide a fairly good indication of how something will sound. That's the beauty of science -- it's not necessary to have first hand experience to make reasonable judgments. You likely disagree and that could be a difference in our background and education."

So, the issue at hand is, can tell how a component sounds without listening to it, and just go on specs? Or, do you have to listen to it, as well, because the specs don't tell the whole story?

NOW: if the original question had only been, "Can a blind person tell what time it is, simply by knowing how accurate his clock is?".......

Yes they can. They make special clocks for people with disabilities.
Mapman, oh, and another thing about my clock. It operates on TIME as opposed to say RFI/EMI, acoustic waves, vibration or things of that nature. But it's not a clock. Its actually set for time depending on where the customer is located, just not the Same Time as the local time. Pretty cool, huh?
