That's great Amir likes your preamp, but there is a lot of crap they love over on that site so to use it as a barometer for what sounds excellent is silly. They trash some really nice gear and praise a lot of Chi Fi ......
AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend.........
i found this website....
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?reviews/
looks like the guy who does the reviews plays with a pink panther figurine all the time... its a okay movie...but i dont like it too much. the reviews are so hard to figure out. i am lost for words and not totally understanding what i am reading. basically it seems like he does not like most of the audio products.
can i get AMAZING sound quality for only $50 ? my bank told me i cant make any withdrawals...my wife took control. now she is not talking to me. and she locked my bedroom drawer with a little more cash. but i have $50 so i can buy something online for my JVC earbuds...i have the JVC Gumy PLUS. the sound quality is premium but i want more. i am thinking of a DIVORCE. if my wife is not going to CHANGE!!
can someone help me find a good value audio product. i need some help. also the audio store told me "do not return" i dont know what is wrong with them. i said they were not very helpful. then the MANAGER said how can I HELP YOU?? i said...i have a team of audiophiles already helping me...you guys...
please help. thank you.i am so greatful.

Nobdy has to uncritically swallow everything at ASR. Like any other forum you have to weed through things you disagree with or aren't interested in, to lift what is useful to you. Same here, right? I agree they trash some gear that I personally think sounds great (for instance, Devore speakers which I love are disparaged usually on ASR). As for Chi Fi, nothing wrong if they are offering excellent performance for the money. Unless one is xenophobic.
Amir again? I wonder how many ASR threads there are out there?
A huge number - virtually every audiophile forum talks about Amir and ASR. Which shows the impact he has had on the current audiophile scene. The Golden Ears crowd tend to reflexively disparage his work, for obvious reasons, but a great many audiophiles appreciate it. I have no problem defending what is good about ASR on forums like this. Whereas on ASR it's usually the opposite: I do plenty of defending the subjective reviewers, and subjective takes on gear, as well as forums like audiogon. I'm not a fan of dogmatism and close mindedness in any case.

Exactly. Also, many amplifiers that don’t measure well can sound great. My two sets of amplifiers don’t measure well, and sound great. Two years ago I followed a tip there about a great measuring DAC. Bought it, tried it, boring, un-engaging, returned it. Went back to a less-than-perfect measuring DAC, got the music back. Why follow anyone who "trashes" great sounding equipment. Something else going on here. Follow the motives to learn more. The best designers also know how to use their ears in addition to measurements.
