In Reply to: There is no point to this hobby if accuracy isn't the ultimate criteria posted by Soundmind on February 24, 2006 at 15:05:36:
your post asserts that the 'point' of this 'hobby' is to aim for a unitary standard of accuracy.speak for yourself. we obviously have different hobbies.
even if hobbies had to have a 'standard', i don't see why all participants in a hobby (however the hobby might be defined) should share the same standard.
even if your hobby has a standard of 'accuracy', i don't see how you could define accuracy in a way that satisfied all the other participants in your hobby.
or do you belong to some secret club of hi-fi hobbyists who all share the same strict rules about what is quality and how accuracy can be measured?
and at what point does your hobby stop being a hobby and start being a scientific exercise, or an exercise in regulating taste and sonic preferences?
