I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.

I just can't clear my head of this. I don't want to start a measurements vs listening war and I'd appreciate it if you guys don't, but I bought a Rogue Sphinx V3 as some of you may remember and have been enjoying it quite a bit. So, I head over to AVS and read Amir's review and he just rips it apart. But that's OK, measurements are measurements, that is not what bugs me. I learned in the early 70s that distortion numbers, etc, may not be that important to me. Then I read that he didn't even bother listening to the darn thing. That is what really bugs me. If something measures so poorly, wouldn't you want to correlate the measurements with what you hear? Do people still buy gear on measurements alone? I learned that can be a big mistake. I just don't get it, never have. Can anybody provide some insight to why some people are stuck on audio measurements? Help me package that so I can at least understand what they are thinking without dismissing them completely as a bunch of mislead sheep.

Look at the little busy body we have here. What lengths he goes to when confronted. No wonder he's been ousted by A'gon mods so many times but has this compunction to keep coming back.

Quoting something from jerry is good for laughs for anyone who's been here long enough. He's accused me and others of similar things and was on his 3rd membership under a new handle when he stopped posting. Maybe he and deluded are related.

All the best,

If you are making excuses for racism, you need to be looking in the mirror. I found at least 4 people making this accusation of racism of said poster. 1 would be unexpected, 4 is more than a trend.

I really start to question mental health with the tin-foil olympics that goes on. I looked at some of the other accounts I am supposedly and analog to. Other than we both have a technical background, there are obvious differences in that technical background. If we are both a single person, then that is an impressive set of capabilities in a single person in which case you probably should sit back, be quiet, and listen.

All of a sudden, Jerry reportedly had a stroke. At the same time you “joined” Audiogon. How convenient. Let me repeat the list of all your usernames in the past:

I am sure I am missing some. What a character. Creepy

How humble of you! Clearly you are a specialist in every single subject. Anything and yup, you are the superior being. Everyone should sit back, be quiet and listen. Your words. 🤦‍♂️🙄. Pathetic. I do envy you for the very powerful Google Machine you have in your possession 😉
