In Reply to: "Machina Dynamica Brilliant Pebbles" : Ever try this tweak? posted by eric the red on March 12, 2003 at 15:43:57:
is how some people whose hobby is based completely on the subjective perception of sound are so quick to scoff at tweaks, etc. that they've never heard. So far, not one person has mentioned using or hearing the effects of the pebbles. I've never heard them, but how do I know they don't work? They might be effective to my ears. Isn't that acceptable? How do I know if I've never heard them? Even if they produce a placebo effect, a placebo effect is a legitimate subjective reaction.But to my mind, looking a Geoff's isolation platforms, he knows a heck of a lot about some things I don't. How do I know he hasn't discovered something beyond my knowledge of sound?
My dictionary states that subjective means: particular to a given individual; personal. Am I to be mocked and made fun of because my personal perceptions don't meet with conventional AA thoughts or perceptions?
It just surprises me to see such intolerant reactions at a place I tend to respect.
