No way, anything you hear should be weaved into fiction like the audio reviewers do. Any perceived or imagined tiny subjective difference should be attributed to something as obscure as you can make it with expressions that sway the innocent and engages their minds like "bloom", "inner detail", "liquidity", "blacker backgrounds" or the lack of any of the foregoing,etc.
The listener is neutral. The equipment has emotion.
The concept of "objective truth" not being important in politics as compared to perceptions is well known and is the keystone of the now dominant subjective school of audio.

I'm not sure even YOU know why you are still here. Or why you even have an audio system for that matter. Couldn't you take up a hobby that doesn't require you to make fun of it's core fellowship on a daily basis?

....there is no other excuse for 95% of all that's written on these boards.But that's true for the academic and scientific worlds as well.
And I would never join a club that would have me as a member. Do people join asylums willingly? Not usually. We come to them for the company and stay because of the pills.
I'm sure that you don't take infotainment reviews of 'high end' products seriously, do you? It's largely a sales and marketing effort.
'Objectivity' is nothing more than 'subjective agreement' anyway.
Think about the word 'subject'. It can mean something we study, or someONE we study, or it can mean a person who studies (as opposed to an object, which is just the thing studied.) Words can confuse even at the same time that they enlighten.
Come to think of it, try to find an objective definition for the difference between 'client' and 'server'. Or master and slave.
Both are necessary, and neither exist without the other. You can even try to be stupid without being intelligent. It doesn't work.
Cheers.
