Im a little dissapointed to be the only person voting ''other''.
It struck me that this is not a 'objectivist' 'subjectivist' arguement.. or indeed a selection of 4 with the word 'moderate' seperating things.
Instead, I think what we have is a broad swathe of opinion that cant be so easily categorised... how would you categorised a tweaker that supports DBT?
In my own case - I think tweaks work for some, but for the most part I cant be arsed with them, finding differences very small. New bits of kit sometimes make little differences too, but sometimes massive great big whopping ones too. Its these substantial differences that I am personally prepared to shell out my hard earned to get. I go against this sometimes because hifi is my hobby, and I fancy trying something tweaky and new. I dont necessarily have high expectations - Im having fun
.. what the hell?
I think blind testing is analy retentive and very sad. I dont care if its more successful or less, its anorak-like behaviour that makes me shake my head in amusement. I like hifi because its fun and because I like music. DBT is very boring and lengthy. That isnt fun!Others might like to do it, and good for them, go for it folks - whatever makes you happy.
On a final note Im GLAD that people will say '' no I think its cobblers'' as well as ''yes I thought it was great'' . If its based on personal experience, its all valid stuff..
I dont know what the above makes me, and until I get my badge, I'll stick with ''other''. Jump in, the waters lovely.
