One of my favorite quotes:
It has been remarked that if one selects his own components,
builds his own enclosure and is convinced he has made a wise
choice of design, then his own loudspeaker sounds better to
him than does anyone else's loudspeaker. In this case, the
frequency response of the loudspeaker seems to play only a
minor part in forming a person's opinion.
-L.L. Beranek, Acoustics [McGraw-Hill, New York, 1954], p.208
If you aren't quite noticing or accepting what is really going on in the present,
but are responding based on your thoughts or feelings about what ought to be,
then you are apt to collide with what is really going on.
