Did I hear Amir say that photons have "consciousness." Would this also apply to electrons?"
Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?
It’s easy to make snide remarks like “yes- I do the opposite of what he says.” And in some respects I agree, but if you do that, this is just going to be taken down. So I’m asking a serious question. Has ASR actually changed your opinion on anything? For me, I would say 2 things. I am a conservatory-trained musician and I do trust my ears. But ASR has reminded me to double check my opinions on a piece of gear to make sure I’m not imagining improvements. Not to get into double blind testing, but just to keep in mind that the brain can be fooled and make doubly sure that I’m hearing what I think I’m hearing. The second is power conditioning. I went from an expensive box back to my wiremold and I really don’t think I can hear a difference. I think that now that I understand the engineering behind AC use in an audio component, I am not convinced that power conditioning affects the component output. I think.
So please resist the urge to pile on. I think this could be a worthwhile discussion if that’s possible anymore. I hope it is.

So you need Amir to admit he's wrong in order to accept his arguments? How many people in this thread have admitted to being wrong? He's either right or wrong, based on his arguments. It's possible everyone else is wrong. I mean, a geologist could show up in a flat earth forum and, yes, he'd be right and everyone else would be wrong. So that's neither here nor there, in principle. So you can't just complain about that, you have to anty up and make your own case against his.
I disagree. Far from "ignoring" hard hitting questions, he's done a pretty amazing job of answering people, and providing much more substantiation for his claims in his answers than anyone else in the thread. I'm not saying Amir is perfect or some objective Deity. I'm just observing the quality of the arguments here, and Amir is providing the higher quality arguments thus far.

Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me. And yes, the dots from synergistic "research" are up there. One of the devices supposedly radiates things in the air that makes the sound better. They have a remote for it. He will only do forward switching. Ask him to go back and you get non answers. I must say though, Ted puts together one of the best sounding systems at these audio shows. I covered their room back in 2017 Axpona: I enjoy visiting his suite to discover reference tracks and enjoy some good tunes. I think that is when I found this lovely track by Willie Nelson and Johny Cash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fdCuRKatjs&t=13s
