Sorry, but a place whose members or people coming to it still believe that the only thing that matters in audio are measurements, and disregard the importance of subjective listenings having as much importance as measurements, may have done their homework in school or engineering, but not in the actual field.
My claims are not ridiculous, and my attitude has nothing to with it. I have dealt and spoken with professional audio engineers and mixers, film & video mostly, location and studio, from USA, UK, France, Argentina and Brazil, with years of experience. I really do not know what experience people coming here might have, but from the responses and comments here there doesn't seem to be actually recording experienced people around here.
My claims are far from extraordinary, and the objective versus subjective in audio matters was very much mentioned in The Audio Amateur (later Audio Electronics), Sound Studio and other mags I used to follow. It's no use having been 60 years enthusiasts if you still believe in measurements as the only way to evaluate audio equipment. And of course there are people still thinking that way: electronics engineers. Actually I care little for them .
Some of those electronics engineers crossed through and started listening. And found that there were things that could be listened and not measured, and the question was to find a way on how to do that. Walt Jung comes to my mind, Bartolomeo Aloia is another one. You can read about them in Wikipedia. Those are people I know and respect. None of them is here.
There was an Italian magazine called Suono, that was quite popular in the professional audio business in the '80s and '90s, that devised ways to try to quantify things as an approach to measure such things. Things like that were sometimes mentioned in Studio Sound.
Science is based on repeatable testing, and what you do not believe is that audio engineers or audio experts can and do repeat those things I mentioned all the time. It's there where your arguments are flawed. You call such things as opinions, or beliefs, or "unconfirmed" non-scientific (?) testing, when I was talking of a capability audio engineers developed to listen to things.
Audio engineers do not waste their time writing audio engineering papers, they work based on the abilities they develop. They do not need to prove anything to anyone.
Read real life stories or watch videos where audio engineers tell the stories on how they made such or such records, particularly old ones, where tools where much simpler and natural. They are full of how they discovered how to do things.
Measurements are just a start, and you seem to consider it the end. Keep thinking that way if you prefer, but you are missing a large, very large piece of real life.
