Forgive me for saying so, but since Bishop Berkley and David Hume it should be well clear that there is NOTHING WHATSOEVER that is actually objective, at least as long as we are subject to the limitations of matter and the human form of it.

There may well be an absolute reality, which exists completely independent from us, but even if it did, it would still look pretty different from where you stand and from where I do. It will probably also sound different, not because one of us has distorted reference points, but because we have a different "listening angle".

Of course, we are now deep into philosophy, not audio. I could debate this for a long while, but I'm not really interested, to be honest.

These days I go with "take my points or leave them, I'm only supplying as one point view for you use (or not)".
Well, T, it you feel that Sound is subjective then explain it to the thousands fools who compose, conductor and perform music, trying to communicate thier subjective ideas unrig perfectly objective universal language. When you stop to recognize in musicality Form and pay more attention to the Content then you will see that the Content’s depicture has no subjectivism. The subjectivism exists only in the  Form’s depicture…
