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

“Meanwhile back at the ranch, while the ranch hands predisposed to measuring the phallic prowess of the various stallions argue of its importance, the wise ranch hand is enjoying a leisurely ride though a beautiful meadow by a stream, sun lightly filtered through the branches of an imperfect tree, with the other ranch hands sweethearts.”

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’m just stting here listening to Ellington’s masterpiece “Afro Bossa” through a pristine pair of NOS 211 vacuum tubes which, in all liklihood, measure horrbily next to the Topping amplifier du jour. Drive what you like because at the end of the day, nobody gives a darn but you.

You want a new test? Come back with real data that shows usefulness.

Your site is to heavily censored for NEW data, NEW opinions, even NEW members that have an open mind. If you WANT the data, stop shutting down people who don’t agree with you and tear down the walls. Isn’t it annoying that you can’t host this thread or a similar thread (even the one you already deleted) on your site without kicking everybody out?

@kota1 Hey, ASR is Amir’s site to do with as he pleases and its a site that the ASR disciples obviously appreciate. Now, why on earth do they want to invade a neighboring country or vice versa? Most here have no desire to lean into their philosophy so why do they wish to lean into Audiogon’s? Can’t we all agree that we already picked our path? Those without a camp can pick the one they like and go there. If someone got banned from either site they likely had it coming based on the rules and norms of that particular site.

If people are listening to more music through Topping isn’t that great? Isn’t it also great if people are listening to more music through ARC, Wilson, Luxman, Devore, Audio Note, Shindo, Harbeth…

@ghasley , I love your analogy, we are "invading", good one. Uhhhh.. who is invading who?? This is a discussion among hobbyists, about a common interest. I am asking a question about professionalism, courtesy, and opening a discourse. Your point is extremely well taken that although Audiogon welcomes different opinions Amir is free to come here and express himself and then shut down and censor the same posts on his own site

The claim prove a negative is itself a negative claim and a self defeating statement. Imagine someone color blind arguing there is no such thing as a green light on traffic signals when the one they're arguing with rejects evidence and science that proves color blindness exists,  so to them there are no green lights anywhere.
