Sorry, why is leading edge always being interpreted as the hard edge purposefully added for attention? The discussion started w.r.t Al's report on roll off. A few seem to be taking the view that opposite of roll off and deemphasis is the hard emphasized leading edge
Then i am not one of those... i always try to improve my designs to get better audio results and measure only to check if what i hear is distortion and if so, it is within reasonable tolerances.

Then why are "tube rolling" if we do not hear any difference anyway?
If some can hear differences in cables etc.and claim that these sound better then others, then i can hear differences as well and can claim the same ;-)
Plus i do not even compare my stuff against commercial available equipment as i just can not do that if i have not had the chance to compare it. Funny though is that companies do that all the time (claiming to have the best out there not even having heard everything, and so do their followers).
So when i compare my stuff against something else i build i think i can make that statement LOL...

I think many designers do. Some of them are musicians, a number of them seem to be concert goers. I don't think the situation is that bad. You might still argue that at the end of the day some of them don't hear right, but that's a different story.
Some of them even admid that they never listen to other gear then their own (Rob Whatts stated that in an interview). That is why his filter works but his dac doesn’t... lol
