Until this is learned and really internalized, certain audiophiles will continue to make the wrong choices in their selection of audio gear.
You’re a fast talker ... so I thought I’d insert a possible typo.
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.

Okay @amir_asr enlighten us.

Posts here from Amir have reached double digits. One included a picture of numerous items waiting to be measured. Quite the backlog of pro bono work needing attention while posts to this forum pile up? Amir is like the Jehovah Witness that appears at your door uninvited. Polite no thank you does not deter the conversion sermon. Eventually, the door has to be closed only resulting in a louder voice continuing the sermon. By now everybody should have heard enough. Join ASR and discuss measurements to your hearts content, or follow another path. |
@texbychoice that's a big part of the problem. If I were to raise some of these issues with measurements or why he hates Erins audio, which to me is fair game if he gets to call his titles clickbait, I would be booted from ASR very quickly. I do agree this conversation is probably just going nowhere. It's like two sides of the political aisle. |
