Actually, the 'subjectivists' claim the same goal.


Even though no musical
system I have ever heard can fully or even mostly recreate
the sound of live in music in real space. Yet this person acts
as if they have the only path to true 'high end ' sound while
admitting they don't even have the ability to experience
realization of emotional and music.


That may (or may not) be true for Tom, but it in no way represents the
position of anyone else I've seen posting to r.a.h-e.


If I recall correctly, it's known as 'the absolute sound'.

Or perhaps 'stereophilia'.

No use of the word 'music' in either, I notice.

For that matter, do *any* audiophile publications have the word
'music' in their titles?
