And so the next major audiophile engineering challenge is, err, well what?

No objective standards then? Only taste? My father didn't like HiFi - to harsh - he preferred Glen Miller on a 1940 Radiogram - no top at all, and a very limited dynamic range.

1940s radiogram? Apart from the sound, it would be just my thing. I bet it looked lovely! :)

Got a crystal ball there have you Marco?

I think it's more prudent to say "where audio is concerned, science currently can't provide all the answers...yet."

Oh bum. I retract! I retract! - didn't see 'currently'. Serves me right for rushing.

Apolos Marco, carry on

LOL. To be honest, I'd love everything 'controversial' we hear with hi-fi (effects of stands, specialist mains cables, etc) to be provable by measurements and so put all the on-going bullshit arguments to bed. So let's hope science can catch up with what our ears already 'know'! :eyebrows:

I'm certain these effects are real because I trust my ears and many years of experience with hi-fi, but it would give the objectivist sceptics the tangible evidence and 'crutch' they need to accept the existence of said effects, and thus save us subjectivists the headache of having to listen to (or read) their endless cynical diatribe on Internet forums ;)

We can then all get along like best buddies and concentrate instead on enjoying music, maybe...

Marco.

Nah! Some folks just go through their internet usage lives being keyboard wankers. They will seek to troll and wind others up for their own amusement. I know of at least one forum that has effectively been killed off by pseudo-objectivist trolling.

Present company excepted of course.

What on earth does that mean?! It's not even a sentence!

No, he needs two hands to type, and an undistracted brain.
One hand was otherwise busy, and the mind was elsewhere. :)

Steve doesn't usually 'wake up' until at least 4pm ;)

Way off line and slightly offensive. Think along the lines of posting from a phone and predictive texting issues...

I've since edited the post from my PC and elaborated a bit more.
