Jason, how dare you be reasonable and balanced of opinion! You suck! Oh, and I love my Gumby!
Oh gawd. This will not end well. How about just a link to Mike's thread, Pandora?
Or to quote my favorite line in Monty Python's Holy Grail, "Run away!"
Oops. Fixed. Maybe a bit too much of the ethanol mod while writing...
If I was a pure subjectivist, here’s what I’d take from the subjectivist side:
If I was a pure objectivist, here’s what I’d take from the subjectivist side:
I assume you mean "if I was a pure subjectivist, here's what I'd take from the objectivist side?"
And I'm forever amused that you prefer the "lesser" stack over your flagship creations. I'd be curious to know what Mike's preference of stack is.

Even speaking as an engineer (albeit one that does not work in the audio field), with a definite need to observe the measurements in my work, I'm not much more than academically interested in them when it comes to audio gear.
I listen to music for pleasure and whatever enhances that, real, perceived or even imagined, is fine by me.
But, if for some reason you want to have your agenda or perspective, be that objective or subjective, directly influence the gear I use then my recommendation is that you bring your check book. Beyond that, I'm a big boy now and I'll make my own determinations, biased though they almost always will be, on what I like and enjoy using whatever facts, or absence of facts, beliefs or other criteria I feel like at the time. And I make no promises they'll be consistent or even make sense to anyone else.
It is, however, quite entertaining watching people lose their composure when they try to impose rationality (or their version of it) on that. A chap I work with has gone, shall we say, "hardcore NwAvGuy" on this stuff. He got damn near apoplectic when I brought my Abyss to work a few days ago. And the mere existence of my Lyr causes him near conniptions.
He wouldn't be a"reformed subjectivist" would he?
What I have noticed is that a lot of the more "hardcore" objectivists claim that they were once "hardcore subjectivists" - ones that spent a lot of time & money chasing unrealistic goals with each latest faddish add-on but now are "saved" because of some epiphany.

In a thousand years, when godlike AIs are unearthing the data-foundations of the Human Internet, they’ll be shaking their metaphorical heads at the silly stuff we get into arguments about.
But they might be busy arguing about their own silly stuff ... (I just finished reading Dan Simmons's Hyperion series.)
