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?

@kota1 Now imagine an "open minded" poster goes their [sic] and posts valid metrics that don’t support Amir.

Please do so.

edit - I just saw the previous post after posting that request.

Since when has a poster using the derogatory and racist word/phrase/description "Chi-fi" been an acceptable contributor to AudioGon?

@noske it is used in all the trade rags all over the internet and is not a Derogatory Racist term. Only in your woke little mind. . Please ...such a prude. Are you living in a bubble . 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 WLB.

 

 

 

@quiet is in opposition to Audiogon as I was to ASR. Definitely an ASR advocate member. Our members have the facts about Amir/ASR and his dealer relationship to his site and possibly to his testing results.

I own custom made tube equipment which has point to point wiring. The manufacturer has spent 40+ years in honing his soldering technique. I have proudly owned his equipment for nearly a quarter century. It would cost me maybe $50K to $100K to equal it or surpass it. ASR derides that it is tube and boutique manufactured. The ASR members who responded to me hate and despise me until I was thrown off. I didn’t realize how narrow was their scope of acceptance.

Here at Audiogon, @quiet can voice his opinion without posters casting negative aspersions on his character or person. We disagree with his statements presented as facts. However, he is a troll based on his recent Audiogon status and adamant disregard for alternative facts.

I’m pleaased that the collective we alllow @quiet his opinion - the tribe on this occasion are most generous.
In the absence of evidence provided by the owners of this forum, you have no basis upon which to judge the character of a person who posts here.

Your own character must be at issue first.  Should AG mods disagree, then let them say it.
