But as I have said, I don't really understand why science has much role for appreciation in this hobby.I don't think science has any role for appreciation in this hobby. Yet products that make scientific claims--that have a putative scientific foundation--require scientific scrutiny, whether it's in audio or in any other field.
And please don't overlook the (obvious) fact that science provides the technological foundation for this whole hobby, and, I suspect, has a lot more to offer it in the future. Sorting out what's real and what isn't is an important part of making that happen.
