I not sure that's always true. Certainly some audiophiles always suddenly complain about some aspect of the test.Problem is that a lot of people won't acknowledge when their preference isn't aligned with increased transparency.
For the audiophiles I know, they'll profess to wanting anything but transparency (better measuring) equipment.Often their preference isn't even aligned with any audible difference whatsoever, and yet they still wholeheartedly belive it's tied to increased transparency.
Sure. But this is where objective help should come in. They need hand-holding to help understand the cause(s). Often objectivist help is just ranting at them.The gap itself isn't the problem, IMO. It's just natural. The hard part it to make people aware of what's causing their preference.
I agree here. If one doesn't enjoy studying and applying what one has learnt and would rather sit on their bum listening to music and use trial and error and subjective listening for new equipment and to even know they hold biases and illusions about what is 'better', then it's kind of like the delayed gratification experiment with kids. They'd rather indulge in the experiential at any given moment, rather than tide themselves over and do some element of 'work' in applying logic and reason to create a 'better' system.Honestly, most audiophiles probably couldn't less. Traveling through a land of myth and wonder is what makes the hobby enjoyable to them, and I absolutely get that.
Agreed.I don't think it will ever become commonplace to see phrases like: "I really enjoy the groove noise from vinyl playback. How do I get more of that?"
