It’s always a case of 100 different people stroking themselves heavily. It can’t really be avoided.. due to...:
With hearing being individually built on only ’similar’ hardware for each brain/ear, this situation is inevitable.
As we go through the stages of hearing or learning to hear ...and we can and do each take different paths and the end result is highly personal. Music is about emotion, a kind of thing that is below conscious recognition and rumination, not numbers on a page. We finally arrive at a scenario that might or could be called ’massive emotional and ego investment in our individual position’.
Even though there IS an actual ’absolute sound’.
This perfection, this absolute sound or ’that which hews closest to it’ gets lost among the din of noise of our individualism and individual levels and speeds of development or chapter we might be on, in our path to audio nirvana.
These threads can even be thought of as statements about ’I like it when my partner does me this way’. And then the inevitable, ’that’s disgusting’, and ’you should really try doing it this way instead’ kind of arguments.
