That no matter how hard we try to explain what makes something sound great, we can't. Due in great part to the only variable left in the equasion. The human. You are dealing with an intangible thing, i.e. emotion. You cannot explain that through numbers and formulas.I think it was a very valid point, and mabye audio engineers need to start thinking outside the electron.

You use the word "firend" way too casually....Hee hee...Gotcha...
I personally think all engineers should take some of the requisite phd courses, the ones that are designed to force them to realize that what they learned in school is defined as the "box", and that paradigm shifts will only occur when they think outside that box..
A good engineer learns well what is taught...a better one understands that what is taught is what is needed to be taught to provide consistency in product (that being EE's)..and the best engineers figure out how to improve what is taught..
But, I really didn't understand your friend's comment...

Can I exhale now??
You are very right in your thinking!!! Kudo's MY FRIEND!
The first EE said to the second EE...
But seriously, I'v never heard a stereo or sound system reproduce a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall amp like the real thing,(never got that chill from a stereo) EMOTION is a big variable in all them equasions
