Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

You read me wrong...

i trust that Van Maanen is competent in audio design... As i know that you are competent in your specs review...

but my point citing Van Maanen is because he was INSPIRED by the non linear aspect of hearing and the time dependant domain where the act of hearing take place ... He used this in his tought experiment and real experiment with his design..

But so competent he could be i have no idea about the quality of his design...

I used it to complement my point about the ecological hearing theory...Van Maanen is conscious of that... You have heard many more high end components than me, buy one and review it... I will love that... 😊

Test yourself his design and i will read your review...i will never be able to buy his product anyway...😊

I dont belive in the Van Maanen design theory...I cannot evaluate it by listening anyway... And i am not competent in amplifier design... BUT I KNOW THAT VAN MAANEN IS RIGHT about hearing theory and the way the ears process sound in relation to sound source.. this is why i read it...

There is mystery when you state a theory you have believed with no evidence in reality. You have not presented any data points related to performance of audio amplifiers. You just want us to read a few lines of text written by a company designer. So no, it is not evident in the least.

@mahgister 

But i disagree wi5th you vabout the importance of hearing theory and listening test...I disagree with the idea that we can predict more than the behaviour of the electronic compobnents but also their sound qualities... Sound qualities is a set...In this set each sonic character production cannot be predicted as human hearings will perceive it and judged it... 

You can disagree but you need to prove it.  You can't keep repeating the same research which says nothing whatsoever about "sonic qualities" of an amplifier.

The evidence of reality is not oscillator results but the acoustic space occupied and your ears.

I fully understand everything he has written and nothing there should remotely get you to believe what he is saying.  He has offered no proof points other than one silly circuit which has no place whatsoever in a real amplifier.  A contrived example is no proof of anything.  You need to write him and ask him to give you that proof: that his knowledge of said "theory" has enabled him to build a more musical amplifier.  Ask him how that was assessed.  If he says it is to his ears and reviewers or customers, run, and run very fast because that is what every other audio designer will tell you.

It is our disagrement here... You ask me to prove what is evident : it takes listening test not only meassuring test to evaluate gear... You even said it yourself and you do it..

Our disagrement is simple: we cannot reduce hearing to Fourier theory and we cannot extrapolate our design abstract measure to real hearing test predictivity... We must listen to improve the design... All audiophiles are not the same, some are deluded, some are less deluded, thats my point...
