Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?


It’s easy to make snide remarks like “yes- I do the opposite of what he says.”  And in some respects I agree, but if you do that, this is just going to be taken down. So I’m asking a serious question. Has ASR actually changed your opinion on anything?  For me, I would say 2 things. I am a conservatory-trained musician and I do trust my ears. But ASR has reminded me to double check my opinions on a piece of gear to make sure I’m not imagining improvements. Not to get into double blind testing, but just to keep in mind that the brain can be fooled and make doubly sure that I’m hearing what I think I’m hearing. The second is power conditioning. I went from an expensive box back to my wiremold and I really don’t think I can hear a difference. I think that now that I understand the engineering behind AC use in an audio component, I am not convinced that power conditioning affects the component output. I think. 
So please resist the urge to pile on. I think this could be a worthwhile discussion if that’s possible anymore. I hope it is.

You figured out who I was addressing so this much you’re intelligent. Or it must not be your first time. I don’t flash the intelligent card. You on the other hand are of a very high opinion of yourself and your posts show your overinflated ego.
Be well. And have a lovely evening.

i am very kind with any people engaging in discussion...

But my defect was not, like you, insulting as first post to someone who never insulted you and even spoke to you ... i never do that... My personal defect, because i am not perfect, is ANSWERING if someone talk to me the way you did ...Is it difficult to figure out ?

And yes sometimes my "ego" takes the place but i am conscious of that and i am able to recognize it when someone is POLITE and we are discussing...

I never breed grudges... Then i thank you for your last words and i wish you the best possible day to come...

I apologize for my long posts and thank you in advance for going over them...

my very best to you...

 

 

It will be my pleasure... You can contradict me with an argument... I like to think...

 

Two heads win over one...

Thanks

If someone tells me I’ve said something "fallacious," I don’t take that as a put down. They are doing me a service -- helping direct me to what is false. Because I prefer not to believe or claim false things. @amir_asr then goes to explain why it is fallacious. Those who interpret this as a personal attack just prove Amir’s point that some here are not interested in facts. (You don't agree with his argument that it's fallacious? Fine. Then rebut him. But don't take it personally.)

@painter24 simply and plainly described a personal preference for musical enjoyment.  A statement having nothing to do with measurements or Amir.  The use of "fallacious" by Amir was completely in the wrong.  No false things to discuss or correct.  @painter24 expressed a preference, just like saying Red is my favorite color. The "fallacious" comment by Amir and your defense of same completely miss the point being made by @painter24.  Amir and your behavior, treating everyone as deserving some kind of re-education is arrogant.
