  1. Me too. Different kinds of speakers sound different. People prefer all different kinds of speakers. Different speakers require different amplifiers. People live in different spaces and have different requirements for their hi-fi. And so on. The idea that there's some universal "standard" is a great theory but it fails to take into account these real differences. But that's really beside the point since people tend buy things they like ;-)
  2. I recently reviewed BACCH 3D software. My feeling is, based on what you're saying, it would be of interest.
  3. I thought you were going to cut to the chase. I'm not in the habit of listening to music with my head next to my speakers.
  4. So, you think you can deduce my beliefs about hi-fi after a couple of exchanges here? And you can do so without even considering the idea that you may not have all of the answers? I'll say this - I do not understand your question ;-)
  5. I'm not talking about *you*. I'm talking about people who try to extrapolate from talking about themselves, to creating rules for everyone else. You are on the right course....for *you*. If you think it's anything more than that, this is where we disagree.
  6. Yes. The need to be right about everything and the Internet were born on the same day ;-)
  7. Sure. That's a lovely sentiment. If you think it's anything more than a sentiment, try reconciling reality with your point of view.
  8. We're talking past each other. What I find most interesting in this exchange, and I mean in general, is that people are arguing that they know better than others and their views should dictate other people's behavior. Otherwise, these people are fools. And the major dig we get as reviewers is that we exert too much influence. Funny, no?
  9. So you say but reality says otherwise. If every "objectivist" owned the exact same hi-fi, down to the cables, I might begin to agree with this point of view. As it stands, saying that there's an "objective standard" in hi-fi is like saying there's an objective standard in a spouse.
  10. I just realized that you shared the cost of your watch = $1,000. So you clearly can relate to paying for things beyond utility. Why is it you don't allow for this same impulse in hi-fi? After all, a watch is about as utilitarian as you can get.
