WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?

‘Are you related to Paul Harvey?’

Wish l was! I wonder what he did with the 10 year $100 million contract he signed?

I did get quite near to a famous ‘Harvey’ in the 70s. I was lucky to see James Stewart in London acting in his stage play, Harvey. Those who know of his original film of the same name will also be aware of his imaginary friend.

I hope some out there ‘get’ the simile l have drawn here…..Like ‘audiophile’ and the imaginary ‘rabbit’…..neither things are real in the end….or are they?

Some people not only think they know better but hear better...yeah ok.

My best advice.  Trust your on ear and ability to hear and identify what you like or don’t like.  It’s you that’s listening. It’s not a science project. It’s music. 

@hilde45 how do you explain the grandmother that doesn't necessarily use science, only experience and intuition to cook a glorious tasting meal.

No two people see Color the same

Actually lots of people see color the same. 8% of males have a congenital color vision deficiency, but only 0.5% of females. Roughly 15% of the general population, regardless of gender have an acquired color vision deficiency, a cataract being one of those potential causes. So most of us actually see color pretty much the same.

What colors we like, or not, is a completely different thing.
