In Reply to: OTOH, many audiophiles reject Toole's conclusions simply because... posted by Feanor on April 1, 2022 at 08:43:46:
there was a time in the not too distant past when a person could go to a local audio store that he could listen to things or ask questions, and if the place was trustworthy, he could get a straight honest answer on anything audio. I was fortunate enough to travel into Dunellen and listen, talk with George and Mark at Personalized Audio. Lotsa stuff there, electrostats tubes TT's, many names that were once prime and made of dreams.
They went on to bigger things like Melos Audio (Song) and were even busier then, but I remember the after hours parties where everyone would listen to anything they had in the store. Questions answered by guys (one female once in a while and behavior increased of course) who had been around the block for many years, mostly tube some SS. And shootouts with different brands.
Those days are now long gone but at least I learned enough to trust my ears, not some online reviewer or a website that became popular because it touted their numbers, data, nomenclature, or subjectivities. Guidance here on AA would best be verified from known people who shared a similar philosophy and wisdom. If you prefer amp feedback and Impersonalized instruction then so be it.
We've all had the wrong girlfriends one time or another just like equipment. I trust my ears, knowledge, and experience, not flashes in a pan which is too common in audio
