such an odd dichotomy

We can measure what we can hear. We can also make correlations between what we measure and what we hear that can work as useful tools in getting what we hear to sound better to us.

And yet there is this bizarre phobia of measurements in audio amongst a broad base of audiophiles.

Oh and there is that myth that we can't measure certain things we can hear. A myth designed to cope with cognitive dissonance that comes with ignoring and/or rejecting the sciences of psychoacoustics and basic physics when they run contrary to one's beliefs.

Pretty sure that's the basis of the phobia.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.

This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).

No further follow-ups will be considered.

Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
