The Boxem Arthur 4222 mono amp was tested to 2 Ohm. I'm not sure what tests aren't relevant to audible sound. Distortion and THD+N certainly are as well as FR to power. Perhaps you don't understand what all can be measured and how it relates.
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?

@djones51 it is easier to throw stones than make a meaningful argument. That is why they throw stones at me. I only entered the topic as the behavior was so poor. @henry53 admits that the ASR measurements provide enough resolution that they are beyond audible limits, but appears to be claiming they must make some other unknown test. For a cable, especially a digital cable, or power conditioner tested by measuring the whole system I can't imagine what that is. The tests are extensive. I am not an engineer but it is obvious that all those complaining are not either.

When ASR fanboys (stooges?) feel the need to keep posting propaganda it is not about ASR, it is about trying to denigrate and flame anything and everything, This is the ASR culture today and former members of ASR have already confirmed that in this thread (thank you by the way). Their borg queen tried coming here and he basically self destructed already through senseless, defenseless and relentless spamming. All they are doing is proving what the OP initially said, over and over. |
Propaganda??
Going back to the days when NAD's amplifiers were designed by the late Björn Erik Edvardsen, I have always been impressed by the company's conservative and competent engineering. The NAD C 298 continues that tradition but, with its "Eigentakt" class-D output modules, sets a new standard for combining very high power with supremely low distortion.—John Atkinson
