Andre, with all due respect, your post is loaded with religious
faith,
which
does not coexist well, or interact well, with scientific
thought.

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.

Graham

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.

But what is the basis of your assertion? Because he is a religious, or
spiritual person, you feel that influences his sonic preferences? I do
see
that he is a person who takes a very strong stand that his system is, or
nearly, the best of all possible systems. But how can you be sure that
it
stems from his religious beliefs?

I guess you don't 'get' what I was talking about. NM

Graham

Give it to me again, please.

It was simply a light-hearted comparison as to how faith/belief can result in
'unscientific' conclusions.

As in that religion would deny Darwin, so the SET believers would deny the sonic
accuracy of modern ( and even some not so modern ) amplifier designs with hugely
superior technical specs.

' Love is blind ' etc......
