I think you may have missed my point.It's all subjective, whether one factors in the approximation to live music or measurements or looks or anything else. An improved state is determined solely by the one who experiences it and no one else. Only he sets the criteria.
What you are doing in you examples is equivocating your concept of improvement with the buyer's. You are literally saying our buyer's improvement was illusory because it did not meet YOUR criteria. 0ur buyer liked the bass of the cable enough to buy it - his criteria for improvement was met by definition. The fact that this bass boost was due to a midbass attenuation is concern of yours not his. If he cared about the frequency response more than the sound, then this cable, again by definition, would not result in an improved state for him and he would not have bought it.
I am not trying to be derisive or accusatory. Universalizing our own value scales is something every one of us does as a matter of course. But it is just that....saying someone is wrong or has been duped or was ripped off just because they valued something differently then we would.
