I went to the ASR site about six months or so ago. I read many review (most of the content) and conclusions. I particularly focused on components I had personal experience with. From a detailed analysis of method, reviews and conclusions I realized it was perhaps well intended but naive, misguided and misleading. To the beginner, it embodies the essence of what it takes to send them in the wrong direction if they wish to get good sound quality for a budget.
Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless

@amir_asr Stick to your base. Kids with limited financial resources. |
@jerryg123 , you forget, kids today don’t have access to dealers any more. Sending them to ASR is a terrible suggestion. Better they meet some of our members and hear the real deal firsthand, don’t you agree? @amir_asr , I still appreciate you posting your system. Hopefully the fact you keep coming back to our site is helping some of the stuff we are sharing with you start to sink in. Everything matters, the room, the cables, the power, the source, etc. You can’t just measure one anything, stick a panther on it, and expect it to produce the goods. You gotta build a room around it first, plug it into pure power, connect it with quality cables, and then calibrate (last step). Why not start posting some stuff about taking a bunch of gear you like and putting it together in a system, isn’t that what most dealers do? Just no MCH until you get setup properly for it.

I listen to well over half of all devices I review. Every speaker, headphone, headphone amp/dac, gets listened to for example. Seeing how I review nearly 300 audio devices a year, that is a hell of a lot of listening tests! Certainly more than any other reviewer out there by far. So you are completely wrong about that. How did you get your information anyway? Just listened to someone else's talking point? |
