>However it's unimportant what others believe.<So true! They're belief system is valid for them only. As long as they don't confuse their beliefs for the truth (and as long as I don't, either!), everything should be fine.
>what else really matters? Some measurements from a machine? Another's POV? or your own enjoyment?<
Depends on who you are and how comfortable you are with your stance. I can tell that there are several posters on AA that seem to care what others think of their POV. Others buy gear based only on measurements. Still others buy based on their idea of how the component sounds. None of those perspectives is wrong; the only wrong thing is when one perspective is lauded as some universal absolute truth. Some people believe they are sure about the validity of their POV and that's fine. Their "truths" differ from mine in some cases. Are they going to come over to my way of thinking? Doubtful. Am I going to come over to theirs? Even more doubtful. We all have our own truths in audio and serve our own master(s). It would be nice if there were a universal truth but the only universal truth I'm aware of is that there is no universal truth. :) Maybe in a perfect world....
