RE: Measurements can tell a great deal about the objective performance of audio gear

Objective performance does not listen to music. The final arbiter of all quality in audio is the listener...not the oscilloscope.

It does tell you if something MIGHT have a fundamental flaw but it doesn't tell you anything about the success of a design in terms of sonic quality. The data does not tell you that directly. If it was designed to a model, then one might expect it to appeal to a wider audience than one that is designed purely to lowest distortion no matter how that is achieved.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.

This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).

No further follow-ups will be considered.

Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
