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?
ASR wouldnt be a thing here if they didn’t send their junior water boys over to poke the bear, especially if the bear would just yawn and carry on.
ASR has a purpose though. If I lost everything in a natural disaster or economic calamity and if I had been uninsured and if I had not been financially prudent throughout my life and if I had no other options, I might see what ASR recommended to hold me over for a few months until I got back on my feet. |
@ghasley I would live with EarPod and a phone. |
@juanmanuelfangioii indeed. I could do it if I had no other choice…but luckily that isn’t the case. I just wish @quiet would finish cutting my lawn prior to engaging in an online flame war with the adults. |
@juanmanuelfangioii I will but not until he finished his yard work, does his homework, takes out the garbage and flosses his braces. |
