On other side are those who focus heavily on the science, who don't believe that one needs to listen to such tweaks as there is no need to, who will say that various tweaks cannot make an improvement and that any perceived audible effect is merely a placebo effect. Of course, many of us don't fit neatly into either camp, |
The advent of CD showed that scientific measurement wasn't enough or that it wasn't applied well and it took complaints from people using their ears to bring about better digital mastering. |
