| What are we objectivists missing? Perhaps we’re coming from different perspectives. To me subjective and objective could be described thus; Subjective observation is centered on a person’s own mind and perspectives, as opposed to being general, universal, or scientific. In this ... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? To return to the OPs question. We can't identify if something else needs to be measured based on subjective listening claims. Bias has to be eliminated first. | |
| What are we objectivists missing? 1 - People are free to share their impressions on anything audio in an audio forum 2 - You pick what is relevant to you. Ignore the rest 3 - Something that may not be relevant to you may be relevant to others I’ll break it down for you. I do... | |
| Is There A Device For Home Use That Can Measure How Low The Bass In My Speakers Is? You don't need a CD player or any test CDs or files. To measure how low the Hertz you need a calibrated test microphone and software to use it. It can also show you how high the SPL before to much distortion. The OP isn't asking how loud his bass ... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? None of them most of the time learn with their EARS acoustic concrete science in listening experiments... Good experiments use trained and untrained listeners. I agree with a lot of what you say about audio, not all. To me 90% of what we exper... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? 100% true. But, this works both ways. For the "objectivists" too Absolutely. If I say 2 dacs sound the same I will add if it's simply a subjective opinion or one I have tested. This thread isn't about cable A sounds better than cable B to Joh... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? The point of blind testing isn't to claim someone is delusional. All humans have biases, the only way to eliminate bias and continue the investigation into why something sounds different is by testing the claim. | |
| What are we objectivists missing? Subjective claims are null and void for everyone but the one making them. In order to show that the subjective claim has any relevance beyond that it needs to be verified. This is true for things besides audio as well. I can claim a teapot is orb... | |

| SD card formatting How are you trying to copy your music files to the SD card? Is it installed in the Hiby? If so remove it and put it in an SD card reader to copy the files before inserting in the Hiby. | |
| Help me pick a new pair of speakers Kef R3 | |
| What are we objectivists missing? You mention cables, if 2 measure "exactly " the same then they will be indistinguishable in an ABX test. The reason people claim they hear differences in components that measure the same is due to confirmation bias. Take sight out of the equation... | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? If you don't need volume control and you use Roon as your interface the Pi4 running Roopie would be fine. The iFi zen is a good choice if you aren't inclined to put a raspberry pi togethe and load an OS. | |
| Mad Scientist Graphene Contact Enhancer do you understand that a soldered connection will ALWAYS sound better than a metal push clip connection Not all connections in components are soldered, and there's no proof soldered sounds better. Take 2 of the exact same amp, solder all conne... | |
