RE: Measurement and Perception and the Value of Each (Long Post)

The babble about "soundstage" and "imaging" is just a lame attempt at fostering "mystery", "mystique", or some unproven conjecture that the human brain/ear combination can sense things that machinery cannot.

I disagree. Having heard these kind of soundstaging champions I understand how some might be enamored with such performance. IMO these effects aren't real though at times playback creates an analogy with reality that is quite stunning.

Personally I'm not one of them but wtf it's their money and if that's what get's their rocks off leave em be.
