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?

@westcoastaudiophile , I am disappointed you are insisting I do this. Do you truly believe you have not been making derogatory comments? I am not the only person who will see these following comments as derogatory.
...... +1 "He is in over his head”- yep
@fleschler +1 on putting ASR reviews “under review”! :-)
Thanks Amir for response! I can ignore your test results now!
Amir, your equipment and tests are “too ancient” .... I would recommend you to put disclaimer on your test results “test results are based on my personal skills and knowledge” to avoid legal issues.

Our aim is the same as yours. We want maximum enjoyment out of our music and want to optimize our gear to get there Then right in this thread you also said: We are not a charity However, I am OK with you coming over here to spam us then, OK. So, you made a wise decision to at least to focus on maximum enjoyment of music. First, the actual enjoyment part it is ALL subjective so leave your fantasies at home. We deal in BOTH things you can measure like sinad and things you can’t measure so clearly like jamming or rocking out, bliss, chilling, whatever. I saw the pic of your system, nice speakers, good. So, if you want maximum enjoyment of music try: 1) Having a drink 2) Asking members here about their EXPERIENCE (I know, you can’t always measure that but with practice, it works, trust me) 3) Please realize we actually DO want the same thing, it isn’t a fantasy. You can also measure some things that are purely subjective. If you start a thread at YOUR site maybe we can discuss sometime OK? If you want to start a thread here I am good with that too. Peace, out :)

Yup. Those type of comments are par for the course here as it's taken for what it sincerely is: adult banter. The problem with acolytes like yourself is that you need to get out more often and grow a thicker skin. All the best, |
