Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?

You're confused.

I asked ""Please provide data that substantiates your claim that there is no audible differences as proven by the measurements."

I received links specifically to a Klippel audio test and ASR poll results. -SINAD was the test.

feel free to add - other data / tests that that substantiates your claim that there is no audible differences as proven by the measurements?

Sorry, really can't be any clearer.
Beyond tedious now . Have a holiday .
 
I don't think listeners like being in a vacuum very much.
Plus it tends to attenuate the sound pressure wave a little. In space, no-one can hear The Spiders From Mars
 
I don’t think you are discussing any of this in good faith. On to ignore with you.
An entirely sensible decision, to say the least. Persistent, elaborate, verbose de facto trolling is still just trolling. There are venues where gear evaluation via aural wine tasting is s.o.p. -- ASR isn't one of them.
 
The hill I will die on.
"I could care less" is now a legit idiom as per Merriam-Webster, but it doesn't really work in writing -- but spoken in a sarcastic tone, e.g. "...as if I could care less?" it can be an effective expression of dismissal.

I know that there are linguists who say get over it, just accept it’s part of the language now.

To this, I say over my dead body. The anti-logic of that wording never ceases to fry my neurons.

What irks me is otherwise articulate and competent technicians on U-Toob who say things like "That [insert failed gizmo here] needs replaced."

Oy vey... :facepalm:

I agree but I think you will loose this argument and should put on the breaks

Practically anything people say can be sarcastic. Does that mean Merriam-Webster will validate every sarcastic expression? Truly fantastic. Oh, sorry, just coined another new dictionary definition.

Lexicographers will validate any misuse of English, no matter how obnoxious and/or decadent, as long as it's sufficiently popular among native speakers.

That seems to be a common construction in one particular region of the US (WVa, Ohio, western PA). I hate it almost as much as I hate the regional tendency to use glottal stops instead of central consonants (e.g., "I wanted to go there but I cou'int" or "That's much beh'er!").

That is a Scottish (or possibly just Glaswegian) phraseology. I have a couple of Glaswegian friends who use it. I confess to having picked it up from them. It saves one (...ing) or two (to be) syllables. :p
