Amir and Blind Testing

I lived though the same ordeal rankaudio... 😁😊

They are many pompuous very clever but closed minds ignoring anything resembling a listening experiments but Amir was polite...There are good people also there listen me right but they are dominated by a minority of bullys protecting the master...They are easy to recognized, some come here ridiculizing anyone who listen with his ears... Their common point is a total ignborance of acoustic condition because they need electrical tools they dont need to tune a room... All rooms are equal for their activities....

I am a naive person generally and i trust people to a point...

I quited this reunion of disciples also...After  they laugh a lot about my "quartz/shungite experiments... 😁😊

Sheeps crowd are not for me...

Here sheeps exist too but most people LISTEN...With ears...

Well, at least I feel better knowing it isn’t just me getting that vibe from ASR.

I watched one of his videos a year ago. He tested some expensive speaker cables and dismissed them as comparing no different to lamp cord. His followers seem to eat these types of videos up. I challenged his conclusions with first, was his analyzer calibrated and traceable back to the Bureau of Standards. His answer was no, and that calibration is not necessary since it was a new piece of equipment.. Anyone who publishes data with uncalibrated equipment is immediately suspect. Secondly, anyone who publishes data without the information needed to duplicate the testing makes the data meaningless.

That was as far as I got before getting endless abuse from his followers so I moved on. He tends to test everything with his new (last year) analyzer. To someone with a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Lols Amir is like religion to the the objectivists.

@tonywinga, there has not been a Bureau of Standards for almost 35 years. Bringing this up shows you don’t have any experience in calibration or measurements which is likely why you were "abused". Other than absolute gain, what exactly do you think a NIST traceable calibration would be on an audio tester? A large portion of the test gear for what I do is not NIST traceable for calibration. Why? NIST does not have any standard remotely applicable. It’s fine for basic things like current, voltage, weight, thickness, etc. but not for complex measurements that either don’t have a standard or are defined by other technical bodies.

This is why I don’t post often in audio forums. Conversations just end up as pages of whining because 1/2 the world does not believe what I believe and I am offended that they will not stop. What is worse, people will make things up to support their argument.

Take this piece below. This is so factually incorrect that I wonder if the author even visited the site? I don’t go to ASR often either, as most of their threads end up as technical fights about things I don't care about, but when I was planning my room, I asked a lot of acoustic questions there and I can state without reserve, that most there would never discount acoustics and would abuse you if you said acoustics did not matter.
