Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

"Indeed, his measurements are patterned after mine and using exactly the same measurement gear."

WRONG. He no longer uses what you use.
"violate every rule in proper listening test you wind up with some random choice."
What a load of rubbish. Can you not comprehend English? I had NO IDEA of the cost, the brand or whatever. The music and all other equipment was the same.
The only one who generates hot air is you.

You also still do not answer the question of morally recommending equipment of poor build quality. Maybe you can not?

Whoa, morning coffee and a triggered Amir ;-).

AJ (Soundfield)

If I were you, I would dig into who AJ is before siding with him.  Fortunately his knowledge of audio science and engineering was nill so was easy to push back on his claim 

Hey Amir, this is you advocating zero level matching, fabricating "blind" tests and being called out, correct?

Who did you say knows nil? What was that about projection?

Of course a few years later he decided to build speakers in the garage

My "garage" speakers and audio science seem to do ok vs the big boys. https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/opinion/1762-the-best-of-florida-international-audio-expo-2023

That's why I keep asking if you're going to PAF next year again like this year. I'll set up some blind tests using my AVA ABX and my speaker turntables. Unlike you, I do real blind testing. This will be your chance, we'll test both various "SINAD" DACs and your choice of Revels (since you area a dealer, lest some forget) vs my garage stuff. Blind, level matched. If of course you decline, we'll understand ;-).

It's a little odd that the ASR forum suffers from so many user complaints and apparently they can only be addressed here.

I can't believe this is still going on.

@hilde45 Its not unlike watching a snake swallow its tail. I’m ambivalent about the outcome but find an occasional glance at the progress inevitable.
