The problem with your illustration is it has nothing to do with audio equipment. Rather it deals with epistemological issues that are better suited to philosophical discussions than measurement. Your subjective experience, influenced by time of day, your mood, your immediately preceding experience and dozens of other factors that have nothing to do with the physical state of the stereo equipment, cannot be transferred to others. They cannot even be precisely replicated for you, so there is nothing to measure. If your original question includes all of those non-audio variables, you have constructed a question that cannot be answered. If you limit the question to physical changes in the stereo that change what a person hears, then yes, I believe it probably can be measured. However, it would be a challenge with current technology to assume that we've spotted everything that can be measured. The problem is that many listeners cannot be content with simply having an experience. They want to elevate their personal observation to some type of universal certainty. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85681 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
