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?

Okay mr @thecarpathian move on so now Am I Errol or Jerry. You are crazy.
 

Please take your meds.  

@jerryg123 You were never my friend and Topping crap would not even be in my daughters dorm room. She has a Simaudio ACE.

Your circa teenage daughter has a high end stereo system in her dorm room?  That's swell.  Entitled.

 

@noske she is a genius and only 16 and in her second year at Northwestern so yes she deserves an Ace. 
 

Oh and she has a full scholarship. 

Ah, here we are. You're cousins!

This is a direct quote from jerryg123 commenting on a thread started by earlflynn about the Quality x200, which coincidentally both own.

 

"I was talking to the guy who wrote this review this morning. He is my cousin and lives down in Texas and he also owns a X200 and had a similar issue."
