There's another group of people who are just as annoying. They are the ones who insist that their hearing couldn't possibly be influenced by their own mind. They regard their own perception as a calibrated scientific instrument. They also come up with elaborate "scientific" explanations to "prove" their perception is right, then combine that with convoluted explanations to discount any need to explain their consistently poor performance in blind tests (if they even consent to participate). They are also the first to denigrate anyone who doesn't believe as they do -- that person must have an inferior system, bad hearing, or is just a fool. I'm in the "I like what I like" category. I don't need babble-science to justify my choices and I'm also willing to spend extra if I happen to like the way something looks, do-gooders be damned. I'd be pleased to see both groups mentioned above go away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
