This is my last post on this thread. I learned a few days ago from my friend, screenshots of every single post of mine in this thread were sent to ASR. Along with a printout of my LinkedIn page, real persona, photo, current employment, work history, the whole nine yards of my private info. And I know who sent it. It did not surprise me. So be careful out there, so many deranged people out there this can get personal, real life struggle, not just a hobby discussion, or heated argument
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?

That is one sick, twisted individual who went and did that. Used to be that kind of crap was done in political circles but audio circles? Must be of the same mindset cohabitating both worlds. Again, sick and twisted individual. It’s a shame that some demented bozo just can’t tolerate a differing point of view. It might be of benefit to A’gon members if you really know who it is to report it to Admin to get that person a permanent ban and to the members here so they can shun and avoid them. All the best,

He is banned from here. About 16 times total 😂. I knew he knew my real name 12 usernames ago, he called me out then. When he was “AtDavid”. Name he used in communications to ASR, and Facebook groups (he is in all FB audio groups) is Cin Dyment. Which I suspect it is also…. you guessed it: fake. Below is a list of the usernames he had used here (that I know of, possibly more). Funny one of them is “cindyment” 😂. Or maybe not so funny

@thyname Yes, I am wrong, Stereophile does show measurements. I probably looked at them but haven’t in a while, now I just read the reviews. I do believe there to be value in measurements however, I’d be surprised if someone were to evaluate sonic characteristics based on measurements alone. The reviews themselves are based on listening, as with other publications. I’m sorry you were targeted by an Audiogon member. That is reprehensible. As the Audiogon forum has grown in membership, there’s been an increase in bitter divisiveness among its posters. The Gramophone magazine forum was eradicated because of vitriolic attacks. I hope Audiogon doesn’t share the same fate. |
There are also audio reviewers who won’t take comments on their Youtube and personal audio sites for the same reason: insane, vitriolic attacks, most likely by the same members here if not of those of the same mindset. One reviewer even stopped reviewing for some time due to the animosity he received, only to come back, not accepting any form of contact. There are some truly sick people out there and some would like to harm you, so be careful who you share personal information with. All the best, |
