"Rtings don't always get things right, and besides measurements don't dictate what something actually sounds like, with displays that's a different matter but even then rtings measurements don't match up with HWUB findings in an example of OLED burn in, for example."
I know Rtings don't always get things right, no site does, the 'controversy' regarding the burn-in just highlighted the challenges of translating lab results into
real-world user experiences and the subjective nature of some performance metrics, they do thousands of tests and measurement's so it's going to happen sometimes, their PRTF measurements are well respected and have been consistently on point matching subjective impressions.
"And neither have I shoved my view down anyone’s neck, as always, I have just shared my experience , which you can disagree with, but you consistently and in multiple threads keep nitpicking and remarking back to measurements or whatever else which is kind of strange considering you just said you don't mind me having an opinion/preference.
Isn't that what a discussion board is all about, to share experiences and preferences..."
You go beyond just sharing experiences though by needlessly and regularly including little veiled digs at other components or companies trying to highlight how much better your stuff is all the time, last time it was the framerate of the VU meter on the Audiolab headphone amp, you had to remark how poor it was and how amazing yours is at 60fps! (cue animated GIF), then it was putting down the cost of the Quad amp saying "MQA TAX" trying to make a play that it's overpriced due to that, when I've done extensive research into the extra cost of MQA in components and it's marginal,
Let me investigate how much do we pay for using MQA

"measurements don't dictate what something actually sounds like"
Ummm, they do, if you understand them, it's statements like this which I find unbelievable and I'm not even a massive measurement nerd, it may not always translate well as you also have your own HRTF to contend with which will change the FR also and that is not even delving into psychoacoustics and cognitive bias.
So again, more misinformation, same with R2R vs Delta sigma, same with Planar vs other driver technology, you believe that HD650 are good for gaming even though measurements and majority of users say otherwise, misunderstanding audiophile terminologies, the list goes on and on, and you rarely ever admit being wrong, I can only sit back and read so much over the years, I've been silent for too long.
