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?

@noske I do not assume this of the readers here.

Only of the blind cultist over at ASR.

Enjoy your evening. 

Don’t assume that the readers of your many comments here have an IQ in the double digits.

blind cultist

Blind, or double blind??😎

I see the vitriol and name calling continues without pause.  That usually happens when people are afraid of something.  Is Amir really that scary?

@rtorchia 

What tube amp was it?  Science can be manipulated, take damping factor for instance, it can be measured at 1khz instead of 20hz to 20khz.

@mitch2, have you seen the vitriol on ASR for people who don't sing there tune (or measure their tune, LOL). Are they afraid of something? Is Amir afraid of something? If you want "science" good, stick with peer reviewed journals:
