He said:"...not to mention the successful high end audio designers, who take great pains to voice their products to a point that satisfies THEIR sonic requirements, sometimes going contrary to the THD meter BECAUSE THATS WHAT SOUNDS RIGHT TO THEM."So what he is saying is that high end audio designers rather sacrifice performance (low THD and distortion) over sonic quality if it sound better to them. I would call such a designer an artist rather than audio engineer.
If we choose sonic quality over performance and specifications, then one will never hear the "true" sound of music that was meant to be heard. Rather, you will hear music as an interpretation of somebody else's (designer) senses, and for all we know, the designer might be deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other
