Guys emphasize ears too much.
Human listens by brain. Ears are reception tool only. Other reception tools include skin, bone, eyes(yes, due to color effect), body(ears cannot receive 20Hz or lower, body can).
In fact, ears are not an excellent reception tool (in terms of frequency range, sensitivity, loudness). Human ears are much inferior than dog ears. Precise electronic equipment "listen" much more and better than human ears.
As human uses brain to listen, listening experience is more important in Hi Fi. Emotion, past experience, brand recognition, product outlook affect listening experience. |
