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.

All I have wanted answered from @amir_asr is how he can claim to allow Erin’s video, be open to the discussion, call something that innocuous click bait and then close the thread so no more information can be had from it.

I answered you already. You claimed I censored Erin's video in that thread.  I had not.  The thread was open for a long time and people said what they wanted.  You can still go and watch the video as many times as you like.  Heck, post it here and see what people think of it. The man said what his top 5 speakers are.  Go and post in his youtube comments what you think.  You have no cause of action to demand that I open that thread on ASR. 

He did not "demand you reopen it". Anyone who wants to see Amir’s real self can read the last post in that thread. As no doubt he will delete the thread, I have saved  his final post. What a piece of work.

Amir claimed he is right about the relation of measurements and audio perceived qualities by dogma and inquisitorial blind test and banishment of any subjectivist...

All the four physicists with their 4 articles are morons who know less in psycho-acoustic than him it seems ...Even the one designing high end audio systems and contradicting him...

Human hearings trained abilities are worthless and only Amir measuring gear test say all there is to say about gear experience and even in psycho-acoustic...

In the meantime not a word from him about the fact that human hearing beat the Fourier uncertainty barrier with his non linear methods in the time symmetry broken domain...What does it means that trained musician can extract information over this barrier up to 13 times in some case ?

Nothing for Amir, gear measuring tools say all there is to say about dac, amplifiers and audio experience...

As i said already, yes welcome to the measuring gear information and gear specs debunking, but suggesting that all subjective audiophile listenings is the same bullshit ready to be thrown in the same trash can because only measuring tools used by him is the ultimate truth this is going too far...

Human hearings, especially trained one are more trusty than measuring tools in many cases... Because the gear response to measures cannot either be read as always a warrant for audio qualities...

Anyway Amir do business not science...It is my opinion now...

Measuring gear is informative thanks for that ... All the inference made about hearings deduced from that are ideology not science ...

 When I asked you for blind tests of your speakers

Yes, in your blind rage you still can't say specifically what I am to blind test my speakers for/against, unlike your faked ABX test which were purportedly detection/difference tests for sampling/bits. Laughable that you post someone else's speaker preference tests, the kind you don't do!

Which is exactly what I'm proposing for PAF 2024, you taking a blind test administered by someone else where you can't game/fake it. I'd be happy to do a test of my speakers vs your Revels. Don't be scared ;-)
