Forgot one point

When arguing about the lack of need for experimentation in audio, I've often read objectivists posting that they "don't need to bang my head against concrete to know it hurts". That argument fails on two levels.

First, we all learned as young children that hitting our heads against something hard would hurt. I would wager that ALL of us learned it the hard way, if you'll pardon the pun, and NONE of us learned it via a parental lecture.

Second, after a few years of martial arts training many moons ago, I learned to break concrete bricks with my head, as well as other parts of my body. It doesn't hurt - once you are properly trained. I would suggest that hearing differences between cables, amps, etc is simply a matter of training. Anyone can learn to do so if they are motivated, just as anyone can learn to break concrete bricks.

The believers are just that - believers. Reality must be experienced.
