Making more or less informed judgments about what ought to affect the sound. Some of us like to inform ourselves with specs and measurements and audio engineering or audio engineering-related experience; others of us like to inform ourselves with our ears; still others of us like to do both. I'm in the latter category, full well realizing the potential for my ears to lead me astray. But I like music through my system, and I bought stuff used (amp, speakers) or just cheap (DAC) so I didn't spend a fortune. Overall I'm happy, and maybe that's the measurement to be most concerned with. Yeah the third option. That's where I am. The sensory experience of what our ears tell us is the most immediate driver of why I listen. The audio engineering of how to do it, and the need to measure at some point to guide design is, while important, not primary. If the former is more empiricist, combining both is more positivist. Computer audio delves more into math of PCM vs DSD and understanding all of this is greatly aided by at least some understanding of the math behind it. I don't care for either the "objectivist" nor "subjectivist" labels. Empiricist or positivist is a better description of how I approach this. You?
