As discussed by Gordon Holt in some interesting quotes published in
the December Stereophile, audio developments in recent years, which
have entailed the discarding of objective standards such as blind
listening comparisons, have in some respects reduced what used to be
"high fidelity" to voodoo science. As stated by Mr.Holt:

"... "good" audio is now often defined as "whatever one likes."
And since the only measure of sound quality is that the listener
likes it, that has pretty well put an end to audio advancement,
because different people rarely agree about sound quality. -
Abandoning the acoustical instrument standard, and the mindless
acceptance of voodoo science, were not a parts of my [Holt's]
original vision."


How does Mr. Holt define ACCURACY ?


Why don't you ask him, Borglet?

Oh, I forgot you are not important enough for Holt to bother with.

Sorry!



Well, you're saying that he feels so high and mighty and he expressed
himself well concerning his views on audio testing.

If you ever come accross the red carpet he walks on, tell him the buck
stops here.
