RE: Audio Science Review

As an electrical/mechanical product a system is ultimately measurable if you define what you expect from the output given the input. Normally this is no change. We can't do it now.

But this doesn't mean there aren't measurements that are significant clues to performance some times. I saw a friend pick a cartridge not knowing what it was from a square wave and frequency response and it turned out to be exactly what he expected. I saw the same man design 'conventional speakers where he chose the response of each driver/crossover combination and get to the 95% point he wanted before listening.

The point is we aren't at a totally scientific point in design but we do know something and it is foolish to ALWAYS say just listen and that there are no useful measurements. It is unfortunate that often the standard measurements such as harmonic and intermodulation distortion don't correlate to results.
