Jonathan Swift would have had a field day with these guys.
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?

@crymeanaudioriver and you are an expert on? I thought you were a Phlebotomist or Respiratory Therapist ? Or you are @cindyment the great audio designer that could not site one design. He or she was quite the expert on wine and cheese too, especially fromunda cheese. |
@jerryg123 , nice post on the cable testing, thanks: "What a bizarrely intensive, educational and special test this has been to do. The aim was to establish a link between measuring and listening. And that was partly achieved. The Top 3 based on measurements is largely the Top 3 of the blind listening test. Both the Shunyata (unanimous), the Van den Hul and the Audioquest were eliminated. However, the MIT (Martijn) and Driade (Yung) were also on the Top 3 list. So there was 70% overlap per author. Not a bad score. And with five cables in total - all scoring well - it is still a very neat score overall." |
