@Enkay78, I fully respect your position on the subject and agree with many of your sentiments expressed here.
I seem to have lost track of what we are arguing about at this point in this thread.
While trying to recall and make sense of the discussions in these 12 pages (yes, 12!), It seems everyone has in different ways mentioned that:
- both objective and subjective approaches are valuable
- sometimes they diverge widely on a piece of audio equipment- we don’t know why always.
- both are being used to various extents while making decisions on purchases
- The science involved in both approaches is constantly evolving
- some prefer to put more faith in one approach than the other (personal choices)
- it is pointless to argue one approach is superior to the other
- It is impossible to change anyone whose mind is set (waste of time)
- we should declare the horse dead and bury it
