Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy


"Audiophiles are Snobs"  Youtube features an idiot!  He states, with no equivocation,  that $5,000 and $10,000 speakers sound equally good and a $500 and $5,000 integrated amp sound equally good.  He is either deaf or a liar or both! 

There is a site filled with posters like him called Audio Science Review.  If a reasonable person posts, they immediately tear him down, using selected words and/or sentences from the reasonable poster as100% proof that the audiophile is dumb and stupid with his money. They also occasionally state that the high end audio equipment/cable/tweak sellers are criminals who commit fraud on the public.  They often state that if something scientifically measures better, then it sounds better.   They give no credence to unmeasurable sound factors like PRAT and Ambiance.   Some of the posters music choices range from rap to hip hop and anything pop oriented created in the past from 1995.  

Have any of audiogon (or any other reasonable audio forum site) posters encountered this horrible group of miscreants?

I don't believe ASR is under the jurisdiction of the Australian government.

Yes but they are under the jurisdiction of wherever they are located.USA I am guessing.Or maybe they a wing of the North Korean government.They certainly act like it.

😂. I thought about North Korea too, but I wouldn’t go that far. China more reasonably 😂

 

I would however respect their right to selectively choose what posts to allow in their site. It’s a private site. Not a public or governmental forum. They are allowed to censor. The problem lies elsewhere, as I laid it out above 


 

Just because something is privately owned does not mean it has the right to ignore/fail to comply with human rights that are protected by law.Far from it.

@jtgofish I think, just my opinion, ARS does not violate any human right law.I suspect, however, Amir does get paid by a lot of Chinese Fi company to promote their perfectly measure product ( Topping, SMSL …). There is no coincidence that Amir always talks highly about these Chi Fi.
