"Unfortunately even though I've now reworded my statement to fit your criteria you are 100% incorrect when you say "It's impossible to judge whether a single component in a sound system is more or less accurate subjectively." "If you walked blindfolded into a room where a sound system was operating, you couldn't possibly take more than a wild stab in the dark as to what amplifier was operating. You'd have no way to know whether any particular attribute or flaw you recognized was caused by the amplfier or some other component. Suppose you had a perfect amplifier driving an awful loudspeaker. Would you judge the amplifier as a poor product? It's doing exactly what it's supposed to.
"As I've stated numerous times in the past todays measurements don't correlate with how the human ear/brain combo determines what's realistic and what isn't."
Well this paper doesn't contribute to that, it doesn't even make a pretense that it does, it claims to correlate to what is pleasant and what isn't which is an entirely different issue. And it doesn't even succeed in doing that. My challenge to John Curl and anyone else who claims they can't correlate measurements they make with what they hear isn't to abandon measurements but to come up with better ones that do. This would give a ratonal way to evaluate existing designs and a criteria for judging the merits of new ones.
