You're
not getting it, Greg.
I don't believe it's all a matter of preference. And
I'm not demanding standards. I'm fine with the ones we've got. But many Audiophiles deny all the standards that
do exist, propose no standards of their own, and yet repeatedly and consistently imply the
objective superiority of their unsupported
subjective choices. They can't have it both ways. Either there are no standards and it's all a matter of opinion, or there are standards upon which they're basing the claims that X is more natural, musical, real...
better than someone else's choice. They're dismissing the established standards and implying new ones that they refuse to define or be held to!
Face with such illogic, sometimes I can't resist the urge to see how far we can go down either dark road before they get caught up in their own shoelaces. Subjective? Or better? Better? What's better mean again? It sounds better
to you? Isn't that just subjective again...?
It doesn't usually take long, but it goes on forever.
