Thanks, with such a condescending answer, I have no intention to go any further as well.
I have
never made an arrogant statement on the ASR community.
As I said, with more data, validation, and further research, a new A/B target curve could be created. Many people might welcome it, and I clearly stated that. But is that the case right now? And can a single curve apply to every individual?
Your target might be preferred over the Harman target, and that's perfectly understandable. But what if others find your target less preferable? Would we then create a new curve again?
Neither Harman's research, many posts on ASR, nor any other audio community opposes EQing based on individual preference (which includes how an individual actually interacts with devices).
Don't you agree that the idea of the Harman curve being wrong and a new target being better, simply due to differences in EQ-applied preference curves, can be equally negated in reverse? Even if it's individual or average data.
That's why I initially asked what you meant by "their own specific target curve" and what your thoughts were on it. Amir and other users have already said it many times. So, I completely agree with and respect your idea that a different "curve" reflecting "preferences" can be good.
However, saying that the Harman curve, or a specific curve, or a new curve, is "wrong" or "doesn't match my preference" suggests to me that you're focusing too much on the term "target curve" itself. Please reconsider what that curve signifies and the purpose behind various contributors providing data through measurements.
