Yes, he did change my mind, about power cables. He proved, using signal subtraction, that the signals generated by devices from different power cords are identical. Any difference you heard is confirmation bias, as the signals feeding the amplifier are IDENTICAL.
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.

@soundfield why no review from Erin yet? |
@amir_asr If you think Purite Audio and Siberg and others arent on your site so they can promote their product, you are delusional. How is that different? Purite is constantly commenting negatively on gear he doesnt stock for gear he does. Siberg is an actual company and they are in essence promoting their design in plain sight. How is that different? |
Thanks prof... I must apologize to you because i thought that your questions was a sarcasmm My only excuse was that someone, a seller of "tweaks" who did not like my homemade no cost experiments mock my for many days... I take off the photos because i add a new system... More economical... But more performant because my speakers so good they were did not go under 30 herts as my actual headphone... I was very sad loosing my room and house and quit audiogon, because i did not have anything to spoke about... I came back after my 6 monhths of optimization of the K340... I as astounded and no more sad.,.. T?hanks for your kind words... We may differ of opinion but you are a gentleman...

"Ultimately we don't know how a recording is supposed to sound like."
Such an unprepossessing sentence and yet one that threatens to undermine the entire audiophile industry. If anyone is so affected I apologize for drawing attention to it.
I'm also sorry to hear of your loss. I hope it wasn't as traumatic as it sounds. |
