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.
@amir_asr : On cables. Thank you for answering my question. Case closed. People can figure out for themselves |
Good point! I will point this out to the boss. If he is still alive and kicking ass. No worries. He has a good disciple to fight the good fight for 20+ years. Long and healthy life to you

I more than welcome manufacturers to comment. You are out of line anyway as Galen never joined the forum to be cut off. He emailed me his response and I post it verbatim in the review thread. There was nothing else from him to post. Go and ask him and then make claims like this.

My pleasure. And many have... sold their fancy cables, switched to generic and happier for it. More money for music and other good things in life. You are really underestimating the difference we have made in the mindset of audiophiles with these comprehensive reviews of such tweaks. Folks are learning and it is accelerating, knock on wood. |
