No, you said that, not me! ha ha ha And as you note below, if it's fun for you to trot out all this "science" then please, don't let me spoil your broth. I'll just contend that science is about testing hypotheses an

Oh, I'm not interested in the flame war! lol I'll stand by my opinions but won't force them on you. People can use their own ears/brain. Always have, always will. Enjoy the music, ladies and gents.

I asked in good faith and I think we share similar perspectives, however it seems an implicit assumption in your statements is that we know all there is to know about hearing, and we can measure it precisely, thus any claims of audio qualit

Please cite actual research defining "objective audiophiles"? What is "objective" about sound? Do you realize that all gear is tuned by ear - someone listens to it to adjust how it sounds?

Why is there such disdain for audiophiles? Do you have the same opinion of people who claim to taste notes of honey and oak in wine? Genuinely curious as to why everyone thinks they can hear the same as others when it's clear that huma

Nikon and Canon and all the other camera companies, Japanese, German, or otherwise, are not software companies and have a pretty awful track record for even the basic software in their camera interfaces. Post processing is something they co

The blurring of boundaries and/or the lack of separation in everything from small home tasks to personal calls and cooking and cleaning the kitchen to caring for family = chaos and complete energy depletion for this introvert. See, I a

The answer goes back even further than my time in photography, which was over ten years ago at the transition from film to digital and DSLR video. Before digital, part of the answer was sports photographers all switching to Canon for autofo

Until it doesn't, but your point is correct. Otherwise known as the greater fool theory (usually of stock investing, but applicable anywhere fools are found). Assuming you can enter and exit with a profit, you win. Next game...

Oh, I was happily happily using my 16GB mid-2012 15" MBP as my main machine until the motherboard developed some issue with power and died a month ago. I fired up a 15" 2008 MBP to run some non-CS Photoshop and you know, it works

A friendly culture open to question asking in public is fine if everyone is kind about it. Having worked someplace where that wasn't the case, and where one might be told, "wow, you really should read the policy about x" in p

I sort of doubt there's really a so-called generational gap. I suspect it's just the usual click bait. I'm sorry I don't have the link but there actually was an online lament by professional sound crews for film/TV

Just an aside: Audiophiles are not a homogeneous group because different people value different sonic phenomena. As you likely know, language largely fails to describe such things, and thus there is much debate over the whole endeavor to be

Some seriously good commentary here, even if the original article isn't up to HN's usual level. Even though I dislike the Beach Boys, this all put a smile on my face this morning. As a former budding and aspiring music critic, I a
