"Vitality? Don't make me laugh. Audio as a hobby is dying, largely by its
own hand. As far as the real world is concerned, high-end audio lost its
credibility during the 1980s, when it flatly refused to submit to the kind
of basic honesty controls (double-blind testing, for example) that had
legitimized every other serious scientific endeavor since Pascal. [This
refusal] is a source of endless derisive amusement among rational people and
of perpetual embarrassment for me, because I am associated by so many people
with the mess my disciples made of spreading my gospel. For the record: I
never, ever claimed that measurements don't matter. What I said (and very
often, at that) was, they don't always tell the whole story. Not quite the
same thing."
