Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

prof

you just re-asserted a bunch of empty-sounding beefs that seem to simply ignore Amirs points ..

The only "point" Amir made that I need to reject is:

What you see is not me

I know what I see. I don't allow others to tell me what I see. That he put this little bit of propaganda in bold face is especially telling.

You're right that I ignore Amir's other points. Generally, I ignore him and ASR. I don't object to what he's doing at all - it's the way he portrays it that I find more than a bit misleading.

@amir_asr 

The beef some of you have with me is misplaced.  What you see is not me, it is me and literally tens of thousands of your fellow audiophiles working together to bring more transparency to audio gear.

No, you are the one doing the measuring and interpreting the data.  Other followers chime in on occasion with their own "measurements"  that would receive an F in high school science.  Other followers drone on in posts full of random technical jargon claiming vast knowledge and experience.  And there is the attack dog crowd ready to pounce with insults and slander toward anyone with differing experience or knowledge.  The tens of thousands referenced are a cult that you, Amir, cultivate and allow to fester.

Allowing the benefit of doubt that you, Amir, have only pure intentions does not excuse the environment you, Amir, created.  ASR could be a much better place for all without the arrogance, condescension, and hostile environment.  You, Amir, are responsible to make changes.

There are an awful lot of assertions of poor measuring process in this thread.  Perhaps an example or two with explanations would be useful?  It's always better to debate specifics rather than make broad, unsubstantiated claims.

I don't know who amir is. I guess that means he has not changed my mind about anything.

The audio world is so confusing and frustrating that it makes us mad. Both ways mad. What’s that buzzing in my ears? It’s obviously all amir’s fault. There I feel better now. Now get off my lawn!
