I submit that you are not a working engineer anymore; you are a reviewer that makes your living off the more subjectivist part of your being. I would suspect that would throw you more over to the less rigorous, but perhaps, more holistic, modes of thinking. Then again, I could be wrong about that. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last.....A number? Hmm...somwhere between "here" and "there". You wouldn't want me to rigidly quantify that now would you?
I would say it would not be quantitative but qualitative. Does the post have anything to do with engineering, or creating, a piece of audio gear or software? Of course there are, and always will be, gray areas (or rainbow colors if you prefer). I would think that IC cables and how they relate to the gear under question would be a good topic for this forum. Then again I would say that LED's on the wall as a sound enhancement belongs in another forum. Cryoing gear belongs, as long as both the plusses and minuses can be discussed. Tweaks designed to enhance the human don't belong here, however worthy they might be. AA has TONS of forums for that.
Again, all my talking is moot if all the working audio engineers have already left this forum. In which case...as you were......It was the Impulse of the Night that made me post in the first place.
