Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

@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...

I'm sorry to hear of the circumstances that led to the change in your system!

I'm glad you can still enjoy audio.

@amir_asr 

"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.

@mahgister 

I'm also sorry to hear of your loss.

I hope it wasn't as traumatic as it sounds.

Per usual you not pick the one thing I didn’t mean literally. I didn’t mean brick and mortar in the sense you sell speakers out of a store front I meant more it’s a physical service and product you sell. Still I’m dubious you’ve never made money off it. You did buy your own admission say that you sell speakers from traffic you get on your website.

There is no "per usual" here.  You are taking shots at my reputation with reckless abandon.  Reason is obvious: you are projecting. That if you were in my shoes you would put making money ahead of serving a community with high ethics.  Makes sense.  Many people are hungry for money that way and let that cloud their judgements. 

But I am the exception.  I have been fortunate enough to have had a successful career and the rewards I seek through this work are not monetary.  When walking around Pacific Audio Fest a week ago, I could believe the number of people who a) recognized me and b) said how helpful my work has been in the way it has opened their eye to truth in audio.  They have saved money and getting better performance to boot.

If I wanted to make money from my activities, I could flip a couple of switches and easily bring in $100K in revenue without even trying.  ASR forum has 2+ million visitors a month which is three times more than stereophile.com!  ASR youtube channel has 40K subscribers.  I am choosing to not go there to keep the type of accusations you are making at bay.  It doesn't work when someone has a different agenda though so here we are.

And no, I did not say "I sell speakers from traffic of ASR."  I said in a handful of occasions, people have come to us to buy some speakers.  The few dollars there are a drop in the bucket of what Madrona makes.  And frankly, it is business that my team rather not have.  The opportunity cost of handling sales of a speaker is quite high for us.  They do it because I ask them.

@amir_asr I’ve lost count at this point how many times you’ve avoided answering me. Last time I will ask. Why did you close down the thread for the top 5 if you don’t care about money? A thread you torpedoed. It was going fine until you said you “hate” clickbait titles which is a laughable label. 

I have answered you multiple times. The thread was open long past the time I said it was a clickbait.  As to it being laughable, all of a sudden you don't care about people making money from their videos.  As long as you think you can score a point in an argument, all is well now.  So think what you want.  I am not here to keep answering people who don't want to listen.
