It didn't have to be that way

The subject line actually more than hints at an interesting discussion, and his conclusion, as obtuse as it is, maintains the theme of the topic. Too bad the only fire power anyone could muster to support his comments were the attacks on tweeks and snake oil. Kind of like condemning all of mankind because some wack job shoots up a theater in Colorado.

What's kind of sad* is that the "subjectivists" do such a poor job of putting these kinds of faulty thinking attention seekers in their place. As if because their listening experiences differ from what they would expect looking at specs or measurements, somehow the importance of specs and measurements are diminished. Best one could conclude it was their expectations that were out of line. Their subjective or even objectively based listening opinions are NOT less credible if one accepts the importance of measured performance. Their defensiveness reveals an ignorance of their own position......

*Actually more sad because it's easy to dismiss an audiophile with more book smarts than listening experiences, but so very off putting listening to some guy with lots of listening experiences try to monkey some psuedo-scientifical justification for it.
