Those so bent on proving measurements they deny reality, even when its right in front of them.


Ah, yes, always right in front of us... the steaming pile of marketing and fear mongering. Compete, compete! One-up your neighbour. Who here ever says "I own a set of Axiom such-and-such, with such-and-such drivers?"... everyone quotes either number of speakers, price paid, decibel level or power handling. Who's got bigger numbers than the next guy?

The "measurements" and "science" are supporting arguments for what we hear, and they're stronger arguments than "cause me and my friends said so." Not only have I not heard a difference between CD-Ps over the digital outs, but I can also prove that the bitstream that's sent from them are very nearly identical... far closer than even your dog could tell the difference.
