I try to simplified it with my macro/micro window.

Hi Amir,

Like the other poster, OP. 9, I live in England. I am a bit shocked by the vitriolic tone of some of his comments and his general attitude. I would hate you to think that the fact that you live in Tehran should play such a large part in how people respond to your post(s). Please do not think that it is here considered acceptable to qualify someone's comments as being moronic merely because someone has a very low opinion of these.

Like others I imagine, I find your posts rather difficult to understand/follow because of the language barrier, but then again I sometime misunderstand our host, so I imagine posting and reading on a forum like this one (and others) may help you improve your command of the English language.

I have recently been thinking about the relationship between the sciences and results in audio terms. I know some people who are incredibly bright scientists and have chosen to make audio their career (sounds like an oxymoron/contradiction I know). It does not appear to me that the correlation between scientific ability and audio results is as straightforward as your earlier posts seemed to suggest. 

What's much more interesting is the practice of audio, facing practical problems, having a clear idea of what your objectives are and having some form of strategy of how to address any identified shortcomings. A lot of it is necessarily subjective and what you may perceive as a weakness in your system may be of not great significance to someone else. Against such incredible complexities, and the amounts of subjectivity involved in deciding what works or does not in audio, I guess a focus on micro v macro linearities (whatever they might be) is a distraction from the more intractable problems one faces when putting together a coherent and satisfying system for music reproduction in the home. Likewise denigrating out of hand the big names in the audio industry, fashionable as it might be, gives no guarantee that one is on course to developing such a satisfying system. 

There is no easy route. Obstacles are many. 

But ultimately, music can be potentially a universal language that works across linguistic, geographic and cultural borders and it would be a shame if local prejudices obscure that fact in our interactions with others and make us forget the common courtesies when we deal with someone who does not have our facility with the language. 

All the best
Rakesh
