Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

"Only if audio design is to throw science out the window."

I'm wondering about instrument design and construction. I have several friends who are instrument makers. To the best of my knowledge, they do nothing that could be construed as science, yet they produce some marvelous-sounding devices. While "throw[ing] out the window" by no means describes their attitude, "unnecessary" certainly does.

Why must audio be constrained within the diktats of current science? Why can it not break free, with results judged like musicians judge instruments?

As I've often observed, go into any instrument shop and you'll find only one numeric specification attached to an item on display.
