Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics

Who would sit on this audio peer review board, and what form would this analytical analysis take? I don't think audiophiles will ever accept any appointed or elected audio peer review board in the near future. There is so little commonality between individual systems, highly likely each system is totally unique on this earth. And then there is my individuality to account for, I may interpret what I hear differently than some expert.  I highly doubt mass audiophile agreement to some audio board's determination of some instrument measured and/or double blind or some other iteration of so called objective listening tests that rates audio equipment in hierachy of sound quality.
There may be a day when acceptance of some instrument measured audio sound performance hierarchy will be accepted by the masses. I'm sure some  outliers will continue to decide for themselves, at least until the audio police confiscate their equipment or place the outliers in audio reformatories where accepted norms of sound quality are inculcated.
I think most of us are quite content to freely build our own audio systems and interpret it's sonic performance based on our individual perceptions. And so, argument in the audio realm really not need take place if the above subjectivity kept in mind. Self appointed judges who'd be more than happy to sit on these peer boards would love to send me to audio re-education camps.

perhaps the board will advise polyamory with planers, ribbons, cones, and even flaming plasma

while playing Joan of Arc.

Did you mean Jeanne d’Arc?  And if so, have you tried replacing the light bulb?

@ sns: my bad if I implied that we need a “peer reviewed audio board” process. I meant to suggest the opposite: that subjectivity reigns in a field that claims to have higher standards of critical thinking than what reigns in the audio world, so why don’t we just agree to disagree and get on with audio - rather than as an end in itself, but instead with what it’s all supposed to be designed for, enjoying the music itself?
