You can't lump "music" and audio reproduction together. Music is indeed an art form, that we all enjoy. However, hudio reproduction is an engineering discipline, based largely on science. > Music and sound are also not sporting disciplines, so no one wins or > loses in the end.

I disagree that there is "nothing measurable about it"; there is actually a lot about sound and audio reproduction that is measurable. However, I don't believe measurement is everything. I agree with the rest of what you say here. R. -- "Feed that ego and you starve the soul" - Colonel J.D.
