Yeah, I can appreciate your point-of-view, but some of this stuff borders on the ridiculous.
Heck, if an audiophile told me he saw the sun rise in the west this morning, do I need to accept that and investigate the issue?It's always "have you listened?" :) You've heard me say this before, but subjective evaluation is (by definition) incontrovertible, so it's an impenetrable fall-back position if somebody plays that card. It's the easy way out.
In the audio world there seems to be a wide overlap between self-deception and common sense. One has to trump the other eventually. :)
Cheers,
Dave.
