Amir and Blind Testing

What companies making novel and robust audio equipment are being stifled?

Should they currently

- be a company

- making product

- with a known brand name

they are probably already in the public domain, displayed at a store nearby alongside other established mainstream brand names, and have managed to overcome the inherent obstacles associated with the audio industry.

I'm thinking rather of new and emerging technologies and ideas, and the word "relatively" was used deliberately. .  Its a fluid concept, one which is getting dangerously off-topic.

@redlenses03 Actually, it was a mistake to even respond to this topic,

No, I would welcome an impartial review and assessment of ASR. One which is inherently hostile to the approach only serves to alienate interested people seeking truths.

The latest link you provided was to a very brief discussion of transients about which I know nothing, and should that be a material shortcoming in the approach then a discussion may be valuable. These things have probably been thought of and perhaps discarded. Or something? Who knows.

The limitations of SINAD  beyond a certain level are known and hardly need elaborating upon.

@daveinpa And i'm sure you can have crappy measurements and it does sound great. But its nice to see good measurements for something you've spent a lot on.

I wouldn't even go as far as saying that its nice to see *good* measurements for something, because that word is in itself a judgement, as is *crappy*.

Its just nice to see measurements.   Only a few years ago all we had was specs, which as we now know could be of limited use at best (at worst, deceptive).

@cleeds , Hi cleeds. Nice to hear from you again.

When it comes to hearing memory your perceptions are every bit as faulty as mine. 

There is a large industry dedicated to the manufacture of excellent audio gear. Then there is an industry based on deception and pseudo science bent on using our weaknesses to make a profit. I suppose you find that ethical? 

As I said before, it is not my money and aside from speaking out on what should be obvious to everyone I really do not care. 

I have assembled what most people would consider to be an excellent system. I do not have any aftermarket power cords or fancy interconnects. I have not one piece of power management or purification gear. It is certainly not because I can't afford it. I just ordered a Lyra Atlas Lambda SL. Does the performance of my system suffer? I do not know, maybe? I prefer to spend my money of gear that is more likely to make an improvement based on my own understanding of the science involved. Everyone else is entitled to make their own choices. Using your hearing as the only gauge to make these choices is IMHO a mistake.
