The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
Imagine doing a wine review as follows - samples of wines are assessed by a reviewer who measures multiple variables including light transmission, specific gravity, residual sugar, salinity, boiling point etc. These tests are repeated while playing test tones through the samples at different frequencies.
The results are compiled and the winner selected based on those measurements and the reviewer concludes that the other wines can't possibly be as good based on their measured results.
At no point does the reviewer assess the bouquet of the wine nor taste it. He relies on the science of measured results and not the decidedly unscientific subjective experience of smell and taste.
That is the ASR approach to audio - drinking Kool Aid, not wine.
Well said. I'd like to ask the ASR supporters. 1) What has ASR actually done to propel this industry forward? 2) Name a product(s) that has world class measurement from ASR that also happens to be beloved by the experienced audio community. 3) Name a product you absolutely love thanks to ASR recommendations. |
@oberoniaomnia You want burden of proof? Ok I will give you burden of proof. Go measure the capacitance and inductance of cables, they can vary greatly. Low inductance has a sound profile. High inductance has a sound profile. Low/high capacitance each has a different sound. Of course there are many other things that also affect the sound of a cable, but this is enough for the burden of proof. |
