Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data.

Well, at least someone's got the gender pronouns right.

This last part of the article says it all...

We listen also with our own integrated history, we dont listen to sound, we listen to meaning...

Only inexperienced people in acoustic think they listen to the pure "sound" measured in hertz.. A perceived  timbre is like a human face....Not like an equation...

Years ago, Anthony Cordesman (known to readers as "AHC" in his capacity as a reviewer for the absolute sound)let it be known that he regularly invited hearing-impaired people to participate with him as a review panel in evaluating High-End audio products. Even though challenged in some aspects of the hearing process, he found that they could still differentiate between better and worse gear and that their contribution was both valid and valuable. Limitation of their ability to hear, according to him, apparently did little to limit their ability to listen, and listening was by far the more important ability.

I have never once not enjoyed MC posts on audio. Keep it up!

We will. Count on it.
