I try to be as objective as possible in my selection of components and believe I am making decisions based solely on sound quality with my recordings in my listening environment and not other factors.I don't know if the components that have performed most accurately in my listening environment are the components that I have selected in the past. But I do know that components that perform most accurately in one environment may not be the most accurate components in the next.
Pure idealic objectivism seems more lip service than anything else. Who cares about the results someone else gets doing a DBT in a different listening environment or how well a component measures in another. What's important, at least to me, is how they will sound in mine. And the only way I can know for sure is to try them in my own home.
I consider myself much more an objectvist than an subjectivist and consider the essence of music/recordings much more important than the sound of it, ie. preferring accuracy to realism.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
