Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

P.S.

@mahgister I actually wrote a long post…I know…hypocrite…but bare with me here for 💩 s and giggles…

You are not hypocrite but very kind toward me because my posts are heavier, much long, and less easy for anybody trying to  catch the essence of the matter...Sorry...

Thanks anyway ...😊

The audio research, i think i will pick ( price tag means nothing but i am human ) ...

My position is i appreciate Amir analysis... But as information added i welcome it ..

I dont like for sure to be told lesson about my hearings impression by some  techno-cultist...

And i dont think that suggesting as i did to tune a room by our faillible and biases ears is in any way "fallacious"...it is economical and it is what we may call real learning...

@amir_asr you say you are one of the most open minded people yet you shut down a thread about Erins audio corner because you said the title was clickbait and people dissenting caused you to throw a hissy fit.

thread in question

I have not once heard you say in your responses here, how you could do things better or where you fell short. That is why you are vilified here and Erin is beloved. you have no modesty and you can't even witness it. 

Whoa, Amir, is that you??? I had no idea you still ventured outside of your reformation kingdom!

Most folks here won't know we are half brothers and go back decades. How are you my friend?

What I talk about is elementary in audio science. So no, stating the need for a controlled test is not any attempt at looking like a guru. 

1. Levels must be matched. This applies to active devices like electronics and passives like speakers/headphones. If you don’t match levels, you better not bother.

I almost spewed coffee out my nose reading this. I bet no one here or on Amirs Science Review knows about this old classic: Establishing Differences By The +/- 10% Volume Method 😉. Really glad you've come around on this. Presumably the new, reformed Amir is the real Guru now?

Btw, checked your Madrona site and another classic is still there! Glad you're keeping Bona fides with the hear this, that and the other crowd too.

Take care man.

p.s. you going to be at PAF next year too? I might come visit you and JJ

Well, since the posts in questions have apparently been deleted, I cannot go back and show you that there was a claim at issue.

I would not have agreed with the use of the word "fallacious" if a mere preference was at stake. Not because that's necessarily insulting, but because it's a category mistake.

If I say red is my favorite color, and someone says that's fallacious, either I'm wrong about my own preferences (which is impossible) or what that person has said is nonsense -- a category mistake. That's why I thought that a factual claim was at issue.
 

I think Amir and ASR do a wonderful job dispelling audio myths spread by the industry to make sales of useless snake oil products. I especially like his systematic debunking of cable mania. Personally I would never buy anything that wasn’t on his recommended list. 
 

On the other hand, if people here enjoy audio products for purely subjective reasons why not? That’s their personal aesthetic and they are happy. But objective Science is important and cannot be brushed off as an invalid criterion.
