I wish we could get together and talk about this face to face. This is going to a fun discussion. I'm playing Mr. Mom today, so I'll break my reply up in parts. I realize our view points are different, but we are both talking about the top 90%+ of audio reproduction. I believe it's just a different approach to the last 10%.

Taking a loose sociological interpertation of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal: once a system is observed, the system is changed. Therefore, I would argue that there will ALWAYS be a bias. There is no way around it.
You wrote: "I have stated before in this forum; there is a reference standard. A system of components that, when people enter the room they know immediatelly that this sounds good. If that is true and I know we have all experienced that; then take that supposition to the logical conclusion"
I think this is where we differ in our approach. I would say there is no standard refernce system. Have you ever been in a bad mood and put your favorite piece of music on? You know, just to cheer yourself up? Sure, everyone has done this. So now, how do you remove emotion from a critical evaluation? Music stirs the emotions. And I would argue that the converse statement is true as well: Emotions stir the music.
Gotta go, the kids are crawling all over me.....Best regards, Colin
