Re: Why do most present-day audiophiles hate science?

I don't think they do, unless of course they're Americans many of whom seem to have a big problem with evolution as well. Joke!

alot of objectivists are not really as csientific asvthey think they are. and as amanagemnt scientist with training in applying maths and stats to human problems, such as this area, I am stunned at the ignoarnce of many of them.

Viz. when someone jumps up and down at me about abx-DBT tests, when I know that many of the reported tests are exemplars of type 2 error 'non science' I do get a bit pissed off.

I used to be a chorister and sang since then into my late 40's. I own low power classic tube gear, which is rebuilt. I use tubes because I think they sound better. relatively sensitive spkrs, I have a treated room, etc.

I am both a subjectivist and interested in getting good affordable and reliable results. I do use better components like PP caps and Mf resistors but I don't go crazy.
