Popular Post botrytis Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 Human perception is based on the experience and ideas of the listener, it is not universal, unless you are talking the 'Flight or Fight' type of reactions. Expectation bias is subjective and depends on the listener, so it is not really universal. I think, that, trust your ears but VERIFY is where I am at. Too many people can fool one, like going to an mQa listening session where they tell you what to expect and low and behold one does hear, it and it may or may not be there. Also, discussing, listening as the only way to make decisions on anything in audio, is fraught with errors and bias. It has to be a combination between measurement and listening, yes, I like DBT's for that reason. It levels the playing field. I remember going to a listening test of high end Cables. The designer was there and described what to hear from the newer cables as compared to the previous generation of the cable. I didn't listen to his spiel as I didn't want to influenced by what he said and just objectively listened. My wife and I were the only ones, besides a friend of mine, to actually think the older cables sounded better and the newer ones were rolled off and lifeless. People who listened to the spiel, thought they were amazing. Who is right here?
