That's cheap and a bit lazy.
No it was accurate and there are decidedly 2 camps of thought. People who go by measurements and others who listen for differences. (blind or not)
I explained clearly that I am convinced that if you indeed HEAR differences that you have verified by doing objective and blind LISTENING tests, preferably verified by others, you are HEARING differences due to different filtering.
And as you seem to agree with me, that is a completely subjective matter. Since as you say, these things can't be measured.
(which I also don't believe is a correct statement b.t.w. Effects of digital filtering can easily be measured)
I don't disagree with hearing a difference as you state, because even with my old ears the difference is clear especially when using software for this task. Now whether you surmise it is from 'filtering' or not is beside the point. Whether it is more pleasurable to listen to is the point that Mr. Mike was getting at. (and myself)
Also, you have no idea what experience other people here have, and what equipment they have used, and are using.
(and I am not going to turn this into some pissing contest)
No I do not, nor do I care, nor should anyone else for that matter but it will make a difference on what you are able to discern yourself.
Instead of addressing the arguments against this being a 'needed feature' on their content, you chose to simply discredit people that don't share your opinion by saying that those people are simply 'measuring guys', and/or suggesting they have less expensive equipment then you?
I already expressed my argument for this being a wanted feature, not necessarily a 'needed' one and I think Mr. Mike, also attached a very good link explaining the merits. But I also agreed with Mr. Mike and yourself that as a plugin it would be terrific to have. Perhaps just being able to plugin HQPlayer!
On an apologetic side of things: Obviously my statement of "measurement guys" made you upset, for that I apologize. I do really think that you are trying just like everyone else to better this wonderful application. I meant no harm, it is just my experience of the 2 camps of thought. Hopefully you can honestly forgive me, it was never my intention to 'enter a pissing contest' as you said. Again, sorry for that.
