    Why you can't trust audio measurements

    I figured this may be something worth starting a dedicated thread for. There are all sorts of reasons as to why measurements may be unreliable, misleading, confusing, or just inconsistent. And I've made a video discussing some of these topics.

    What do you think about subjective opinions without any scientific basis?

    I always had that question since I learned the basics of audio processing and reproduction. I remember when I didn't know anything about audio and was looking for bettering my experience with it. I started like everyone here, reading the other forums, thinking that everything made sense: amps...

    (As I find more blind tests I will add them to the list here.)
