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?

And you should as I am not Errol but I hope you find him as you are endeared to him or her. 

Don't fall for the misdirection, ASR is pay to play, you don't pay, you don't post what is gospel at the altar of ASR= ban. Truth is not the friend of propaganda when you have a meter running and people laying out their plastic with NO idea where the driver is taking them. He is taking them "for a ride"alright',  right into his pocket. 

Wow crazy town here. 

Agree ASR is all about the inexpensive gear. Attention K-Mart shoppers under the blue light is a Topping DAC. 

Every few hundred posts I jump into this thread to remind people that a bad review from ASR is a Badge of Honor.  That is all.
