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.

But yes, both tests show that high-end cables don’t make an audible difference.

Sure! What low-end cables do YOU recommend?

It works in digital domain so doesn't have noise or adjustment issues that Ethan's hardware null tester has. 

Are you saying Ethan’s Null Tester device was flawed?

No.  Just hard for average audiophile to understand.  For anyone with understanding of what it did, it was great.  But those were not the people who needed convincing....

Care to elaborate: what is the “average audiophile”?
