Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

The most important characteristics of sound can't be measured. Hel-loo!

Examples: Transparency, rhythm, truthfulness to the recording venue, immediacy, naturalness, realism, airiness, wetness, dryness, lushness, being congealed, completeness, soundstage dimensionality.

You assume way too much. Even Heyser admitted he was puzzled by lack of correlation between what he heard and what he measured. Obviously some things are measurable. Like frequency response and SNR. Duh! Alas, he died too soon, I could have straightened him out. If only he could have hung on for another 15 years or so.
