Sending you a private message. Subjective opinions are not allowed here - and no, I did not do a blind test. So if you want to regard my observations as worthless, that is fine.
I don't understand why people always do this. Any disapproval of a single or few, equals somehow intolerance in totality from the whole? This detonating exit tactic is what modern day people who get 'offended' do. Not because they're actually offended, but because they want to *as implied* leave the conversation but with the last word, or to make it clear they concede no no points, nor admission of understanding of the replies to the statements made by the other person.
Subjective reviews are allowed here. What draws the ire of many is subjective reviews that bleed into subjective opinions on decades long established facts, but not supported by evidence to at least retort against these established facts. It's like saying "This amp is different for X reasons, and I hear it" because of such "Y principle in physics doesn't apply to me, regardless of me not providing proof of any kind".
Like you can say one amp sounds better to you than the other, that's fine. But don't say it does so because you can 'feel' and 'hear' 96kHz frequency or that because you can hear the difference two amps, you are also able to inexplicably hear such frequencies without demonstration. It's a non sequitur because the two concepts don't relate to one another, and also the prior probability of it being true is virtually 0% (as no one has ever demonstrated such an ability like hearing such frequencies).
Worst of all, when you have the "I hear 96kHz" sort of add-on conclusion to you argument. It makes your prior subjective one hold less credence. In the same way your friend who said he could tell the difference between 5 minute old beer vs 10 minute old beer and likes the 10 minute old beer for it's taste, but then goes on to say because of such ability he also convinced an Victoria's Secret model to have sex with him last night, and also he believes humans can breathe in outer space, and also he knows Mars is only 500 miles away from Earth.
I'm not saying you're doing exactly this. I'm just trying to demonstrate where your claim on "subjective opinions aren't allowed" would actually warrant people telling you to end the nonsense. Giving a subjective review of what you hear isn't against the rules. But whether or not you have people believe your claims, or whether they value your opinion all equally isn't something you can guarantee regardless of community.
Even in a community like this that values objectivity, you have folks who would wish for more stringent sorts of tests, or more types of tests.
There's no need for baseless blanket statements like that man... we're all here for the same reason (I hope) to get a better understanding of what it is we're doing and how we engage with audio products.
