I know this is old but I've never understood this line of thought - the guy freely admits in point 10 that "trained listeners" can hear things that the untrained ear does not, like a speaker out of phase or a frequency imbalance. So, who's to say that those of us who are intimately familiar with our gear and our music that we aren't trained to hear very specific nuances within? I don't hold anyone else responsible if they cannot, but that's just me. Just like the mechanic who can hear the difference between engine knock and valve chatter, or the video sciences person who can tell "red" isn't "red" on a specific monitor, it's a learned thing, not voodoo. My wife can't (or doesn't care to) see the difference between an SD broadcast and an HD one. That doesn't mean she's blind, she sees what I see, but she just doesn't pay that close of attention to it. Some do, to a very granular degree, it's just what we're sensitive to.

As I always tells those who doubted. It's a bliss. Cherish it. Till then your wallet is gonna be lean. Very lean.

There are those in between. Know it sound better to them but can't use words to describ it.

I always see bias as double edged sword in that it could just as easily be applied to I believe I do not hear a difference therefore I do not
