I Am Tired of Bogus Measurements


My expensive shoes have measurements but it doesn’t matter, all I want to know is will they fit. My expensive new suit has measurements but it doesn’t matter, all I want to know is will my expensive new shoes match.

The people being misled by measruements aren’t being led my manufacturers, they are being misled by reviewers. Idiotic rankings of digital gear based on measurements outside the range of human hearing. Cancelling entire brands who put out features customers actually want as they sell to humans, not bats. The worst of these websites will rant about their own superior $$$ equipment but mot even one person will ever use speakers in a klippel matchine, they actually put them in a room! The horror. The cancelling of brands, the talking down to the customers, is bogus.

You need to measure what matters! Are the customers actually happy? Is the warranty honored? Most importantly is their an in home audition period?
I don’t need someone to tell me if I could or should like a product. My room is not a test bench, or a klippel machine. Who cares what the component measures by itself because unless its a clock radio I’ll never use it by itself, I have to interconnect it in a "system" with "high quality" cables, (as in all cables are not the same).

If you want to measure something measure how your personal system of curated components interact with your room. That’s it. The rest of the stuff you could forget because these days if a brand overpromises and under delivers they will be following a formula for losing money, an no company likes that.

It has been demonstrated that frequencies above the human threshold of hearing generate brain activity, so super tweeters with a decent source are indeed relevant.

Why is the phrase snake oil so often used to reject what is not comprehended or understood? It makes the writer appear foolish, so I automatically skip the post as being without merit.

It goes without saying that references to bats get the same treatment, and are bypassed.

Do you think @bigtwin , @yoyoyaya , @clearthinker and @westcoastaudiophileare impressed with you?

@bigtwin : you are summoned. Call to arms. From your buddy. When are you are going to mobilize and answer the Master call? @clearthinker already did. Shame on you it’s taking so long

Link? Sleep generates brain activity too, why is this relevant??

This paper on interconnect pathway measurements was published on AES

Strike 6. Can you point out the flaw in this paper?

This is cool, but I would not take this as a proof of much. From what I read, we cannot discriminate any ultrasonic frequencies, we can just detect presence of some. There have been a fair number of tests over the years of whether people could tell the difference of music recorded to 20KHz, and recorded to higher frequencies. No one can tell when the bandwidth is larger.

We don't have to agree on everything, or even anything, but keeping it respectful goes a long way. Thank you to those that are.

You have no bat, no ballpark, and no speakers. You aren't qualified to call anyone "out" except yourself. If you want to "play" please post your system and FR measurements.

Do you see why I say you always argue? You don't have any game, any credentials, any experience, any speakers, and any relevance.
