In Reply to: "burden of proof" thing again...... posted by Sordidman on June 21, 2010 at 09:18:27:
All of the above is true if all you're trying to reach is a purely subjective evaluation. But if what you're trying to determine is whether or not something is audible when the listener expectations are disengaged, or how faithfully a component reproduces the signal it receives, you've entered a world where objective observation and measurement is critical and interpretation is irrelevant, even counter-productive.
Of course we listen subjectively, and that's all that matters in the end. If you believe that a meter of copper, with no filtering capacity or characteristics, sandwiched between miles of copper in the grid system and many feet of it in your listening system, can change the quality of your music, you WILL hear it. Enjoy.
