Neutral electronics are a farce...

@Al- The Dunning-Kruger Effect is another possibility. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) The initial propositions, not the corollaries.

geoffkait may be one of those people who believe math and science are intuitive. Perhaps - for real math wizards - it is intuitive. But for most of us, it isn't. Even Einstein said he struggled with math.

It's probably futile to try and explain this to geoffkait, although atmasphere deserves kudos for trying.

I think the word "farce" in the thread title just appealed to him and not much else really mattered.   Just a hunch.

You catch on quick, grasshopper.  ;-)

I tend to describe a neutral set up based on hearing many different "albums". If they all sound unique, meaning if some recordings sound bass heavy, some bright, some just fine then I figure the system isn't tilting the frequency in any one direction. I would call that system neutral. However if everything sounds bright well it's obviously not neutral.
