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?

"Odds are they will have issues. They seemed to have a SPDIF issue, was resolved. Not many other issues. Not defending them, but you are just spouting off with nothing to back up your position."

It is amazing how few people can read or comprehend posts. I really fear for the state of literacy when I read posts like this.

Anyway it looks like we have an escapee from the asylum who joined here to attempt to refute the irrefutable.

Yup. Typical ASR militia contingent. Involuntary celibate angry young dudes in their thirties, still living in their mom’s basement
