Same for me in the Netherlands - and I can do the 'ggghhhrrr' thing really well on account of where I grew up in my youth and worked for the P company for 20 years. My wife, who is a Dutch National - by birthright from mum and dad but never lived there - has less chance of getting it right.
As an aside, both my kids (29 and 31) are on Dutch passports. One has a soft Manc accent and the other is accentless and lives in Japan (speak read and write Japanese). Neither can speak a word of Dutch. 😀

That twist has escaped me.
Jacco, I posted this story as an extreme example of how people react to the difficulties of human relationships (in response to your remark that a relationship with a geek is difficult).
But the relevant to audio (pun intended) take away from this story is that what is formed in our mind as a reality, far exceeds in strength the subjective outside reality and any rational thought.

Is there anyone around here striving for a best reproduction system where low distortion, high dynamic range and all identifiable forms of distortions are reduced to an absolute minimum?

I would think that pursued rigidly would get boring fast to most of the participants here.
I didn’t know that either
I have to apologize for bringing up this subject

Sailors back then used a handshaker that looked like Barbie while away from home, Dutch sailors were the only ones allowed to visit/enter Japan for a long time.

Seems oddly appropriate for the late thread direction. 😀

Yes!
But what you end up with works out to be a list.
On the list are a series of "compromises".
One can go down the list and check off the compromises that are acceptable/desirable and those that are unacceptable/undesirable.
Of course scaling them with some 'preference' quotient is advisable.
Then too the relationships often can not be random, there are complimentary/symbiotic/mutually beneficial items that either must come together or are best together, or can not be had any other way. Similarly, there are mutually exclusive factors as well as the converse/inverse of the first set mentioned...
...for example small size and wide bandwidth/high sensitivity/high SPL don't work out to be possible... but this is fairly simplistic (obviously so).
So the question comes down to which series or set of compromises can you handle/want/live with and maybe more importantly which do you NOT want. Can't get everything... maybe with direct cranial transfer, but then we'd be talking about the good that holds the probes to the head, and the wires... right? 😀
Interesting, but I don't think all that helpful for most people who don't have a gifted child. Not any big deal, but in high school I happened to get invited to attended a series of math lectures for gifted kids at the local university. It was interesting, but not a life-changing experience.
Today, I wish I could get more people interested in the subject matter of books like "Thinking Fast and Slow." It was written in the hopes it could be of some self-help use, and I think it is useful for serious readers willing to study it carefully. I wish we had that when I was a kid. In many ways it probably would have been much more useful than the extra math instruction/exposure was as far as getting through everyday life is concerned.
