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?

The Infinity IRS wasn’t the amp killer, the kappa 8 and Kappa 9 were the amp killers.

if you didn't have only 9 posts, all in this topic, all effectively band-handed attacks on ASR, then I may take your post seriously. However, as you do have only 9 posts, all in this topic, I see no need to take you seriously. That would create an account, solely for the purpose of attacking ASR is definitely a point of interest. Education is important if you want to understand certain topics.

Yea, your right! 9 posts in 2 1/2 years.

You have what 72 posts in 1 week?

Silence is NOT a weakness, now matter how you want to spin it.

I am educated my friend, unlike you, I dont need to flaunt it.

Your still making my point however.

@henry99  Requoting you:

There has been NO ONE who says that measurements, ASR measurements or any measurements are useless!

Most seem to be like my (and Henry's) view. They aid in the evaluation of equipment, but I do not rely on them alone.

What has been the issue from the 1st page (of this forum) is the CULTURE of ASR!

And that to that, you keep reiterating their point again and again, ad nauseam.

For a man who flaunts his education, I would think you’d get it by now. (@crymeanaudioriver).

This guy is like a tick that burrows into Audiogon until he causes enough irritation to get booted out... Then comes back under another name and starts the process all over again.
