That's right and that's where experience comes into play. My listening skills are nowhere close to extraordinary, but I've been doing it for long enough that I know when I hear a dramatic change in one or more aspects of fidelity. I'm not trying to sell cables and electronics, so I don't need come armed with data in order to have a civil discussion in an audiophile forum. Sadly, hardcore objectivists can't seem to help themselves. If I want to ask about the new Lampizator GG here in this thread, then I better be ready for attacks on the engineer, claims that all DACs are the same, bits are bits, and so on. If there is positive feedback, then those folks are fools. If there are positive pro reviews, then the reviewer is a paid shill. If I get one myself and describe what I'm hearing, then my perception is goofy. Yeah, such a fun hobby!
