Not a fact that can be ignored really - it all comes down to subjectivism and people simply enjoying what they hear rather than worrying about how they are constructed or their design specs..

Someone who doesn't like the "BBC sound" could say that those that do were deaf or idiots or have been brainwashed.. but that would smack of arrogance or fighting talk and really doesn't go down well at all in an open forum like this!

Better to realise instead that people have differing tastes and accept that calmly.

As someone who doesn't know that much about electronics I have to go on what I hear too and have become (and enjoy being) a box swapper and make my choices via my ears. I did study physics for many years and realise how complex interactions can become from a small number of variables and so, especially when it comes to human reactions to sound and music which we don't fully understand, it's all far too complex to have absolutes.

Even if I did know a lot about it I'd still rely on my ears at the end of the day.

I'm surprised really as I thought Richard was the ultimate advocator of subjectivism - it's all in the ears etc
What the F*** is this again, you don't give up do you. Why are you so focused on me and not my opinions.
