[QUOTE="LourensC, post: 1141169, member: 15482"] Pragmatically and for myself only: [I][B]What does [I]subjective[/I] mean?[/B][/I] That I don't care what is best or correct as long as I like it! [I][B]What does [I]objective[/I] mean?[/B][/I] Lots of work for me. I have to very formally(I'm a stickler for detail) test, and analyse every mesurement in terms of acuracy as well as making sure I'm actually measuring what I think I am, and make sure that the results actually mean what I think they do. Then just to be sure I have to do it all over for more equiptment as well so that I have something to compare to. Way more work than what my hobby warrants. Analysis paralasis will keep me on the internet and not in front of my system. For my work objectivity is crucial, for my hobbies it's typically not. [B]Cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias[/B] I acknowledge my confirmation bias. Cognitive dissonance will be when I listen to a digital amp and I like it. Has not happened yet. I kind of get to hide from it because I will not go and audition a digital amp in the first place; my bias tells me it'll be crap. [/QUOTE]
