WiFi, Ethernet and USB are all in the digital audio path between the three floors. No PC in the main listening room. WOW! Tons of equipment on three floors! You must be a millionaire. We need a WOW button. RickyV, Summit, Audiophile Neuroscience and 1 other 2 1 1 I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums.

The vast majority of Subjectivists are not technically qualified, and do not have the equipment or training needed to do so... 5 hours ago, botrytis said: Actually, that is the issue. They do. Ears can be fooled. So, data is needed. Actually, it's not their job. Most subjectivists don't own or know how to use testing equipment, that's the job of Electronic Engineers as Alex @sandyk stated. So if you require data ask an Electronic Engineer to measure it or do it yourself if you are qualified. IMHO playing music is supposed to be an enjoyable leisure pursuit not a job. Electronic Engineers went to school for a reason so that is their job. Just saying. Happy listening. audiobomber 1 I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums.

And visa versa. So this is an impasse since it obvious that subjectivists will still claim that there is noise, etc and the other side will say prove it. Sounds like US politics right now. Personally. I'm fine with the impasse, as I consider myself an audio nihilist as I don't believe anything I've not heard with my own ear/brain system. So I take personal experiences, reviews, ad copy and even published specifications with great skepticism. Just because someone else loves something it doesn’t follow that I will too, I might, I might not, or whatever it is may not make any difference I can hear. I believe each person should listen for themselves because they are the ones who listen to their music though whatever they are considering purchasing. However, I do love reading about music and audio. And I don't take anything I've read (measurements or listening impressions) as gospel. Back to the thread topic, Misleading Measurements. One of the most misleading measurements I've every seen is spontaneous peak power used by mid-fi manufacturers in the 1970's and 1980's to make their low power products look more powerful on the spec sheets, owner's manuals and in advertising.

There are two reasons I won't listen to those two files: According to my apartment lease agreement I am not allowed to stream any audio or video. I hate comparing stuff, and I will never compare anything again unless I have to replace broken or dead equipment. And I dread that happening. My use of internet is limited to checking email, reading and writing posts at Audiophile Style, checking for new SACD releases, and purchasing SACDs and canned goods online. I have dementia.
