In reply to:
Some take the "If science says, then it must be true" a little to the extreme.
Define the word 'science' here.
Too many audiophiles take the term out of context.
Science does NOT just mean taking measurements with a meter, it also includes the tests derived from HUMAN HEARING under CONTROLLED CONDITIONS.
I'm sorry but anyone who has ever taken a high school science course should know about basic methodology and removing all influential factors from the experiment. Home listening tests mean squat except to the individual beliefs of the person listening. The reports are subjective and hence, cannot be considered accurate.
That does not mean they don't hold truth, but other information w/o bias is required to make conclusions fact and not belief.
This is often a simple and logical approach that is disrespected and ignored as it does not suit the requirements of the home audiophile and their craft.
