Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy

@thyname Yes, I am wrong, Stereophile does show measurements. I probably looked at them but haven’t in a while, now I just read the reviews. I do believe there to be value in measurements however, I’d be surprised if someone were to evaluate sonic characteristics based on measurements alone. The reviews themselves are based on listening, as with other publications.
 

I’m sorry you were targeted by an Audiogon member. That is reprehensible. As the Audiogon forum has grown in membership, there’s been an increase in bitter divisiveness among its posters. The Gramophone magazine forum was eradicated because of vitriolic attacks. I hope Audiogon doesn’t share the same fate. 

There are also audio reviewers who won’t take comments on their Youtube and personal audio sites for the same reason: insane, vitriolic attacks, most likely by the same members here if not of those of the same mindset. One reviewer even stopped reviewing for some time due to the animosity he received, only to come back, not accepting any form of contact.

There are some truly sick people out there and some would like to harm you, so be careful who you share personal information with.

All the best,

There are 246 posts on my forum and I would say that 95% share similar attitudes towards ASR and additional criteria to evaluate audio equipment.  I have also become more mindful in my posts from 5 or 15 years ago.  I did make one negative comment at the beginning of this forum but a Audiogon overseer (above the moderator) thought it didn't have to be deleted.  I read Audiogon forums more than several others on a weekly basis.  I also lend my personal and friends personal experiences using equipment and tweaks.  

doxxing somebody over their opinions about stereo equipment is one of the saddest things i've ever heard. unreal

"Miscreants"
