Andre, with all due respect, your post is loaded with religious faith,

Same goes for his faith based love for the SET. ;-)

I'm not a SET fan, but I'm skipping that. It's very popular to bash
people
on account of their personal taste. It's cheap, predictable, and boring.

The point actually was that - despite their clear limitations ( recently
discussd in depth ) that Joot prefers an SET over an amplifer that can be
demonstrably shown to be vastly more accurate.

That's an example of 'faith' winning over science. Like the God squad.

There is an old saying: "There is no accounting for taste."

Indeed.

Music is
sensational, and sensational is subjective. What happens between the nerve
endings of Jute, and the final judgement of the cerebral cortex, is a
completely individual manner. It will be different for you, for Jute, and
for me.

Of course one never knows exactly but I won't labour the point.

An interesting proof of the function of the brain in making judgements about
sound quality ( amongst other things ) is easily performed by the consumption of
intoxicants.

I attend live concerts regularly. The experience is vastly different from
any hifi system I've ever heard.

Indeed. One of the largest effects is the acoustic of the listening environment.
Added to which will be ambient noise and I'm sure the sense of occasion affects
the human response too.

Perhaps Jute's brain interprets SET/horn
sound as closer to the live experience than a typical hifi. He is entitled
to use whatever tools he prefers to aid his imagination in transference to
the experience of actual attendance.

Sure. I still stand by my assertion that I find his judgement similar to one
based on faith. The mind works in funny ways.
