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.
@prof (yeah, right!)-
You're out, "prof"? That's because you have NO understanding of QED (Feynman's forte), or- the Physics involved, thus: No argument, when challenged. As mentioned: a poser and floccinaucinihilipilification. RUN, "prof", RUN! |
The Church of the Naysayer Doctrine (Denyin'tology, like every other faith-based, religious cult) has as many dopes as it does Popes. Bring up anything resembling SCIENCE/PHYSICS, dated later than the 1800’s and they become apoplectic, not having the formal education to comprehend the concepts, or- possible ramifications, as regards our components/systems/listening. . THAT would be hilarious, were it not so pathetic! (Gimme That Old Time Religion, Gimme That Old Time Religion, etc.) |
Nothing transformed my audio system and ideas more than that processor. My jaw fell on the floor in the way it seemingly removed the walls from my listening room! What kind of subjective audio-foolery statement is that? Alas, the story did not end well. After spending $10K on the processor, I spent another $5K to upgrade it. The snake in snakeoil bit you in the butt. Wonder what kind of reception the above statements would receive over at ASR? |
Only slow thinkwer will interpret Feynman Quote
as if an individual could fool himself everytime he trust himself and then must put his trust externally ... The best way to fool himself for an individual and miss the Nobel prize is believing all that is taught everywhere ... Perhaps to Kuhn and Popper you must add Feyerabend for philosophy of science course... Doubting is not self doubting first and using blind test as childish thinking from Amir indicate, it is doubting what is taught and experimenting with it to LEARN IT OR TO REFUTE IT by experience and trust in ourself ... We cannot do that all the time for sure , trust in others must be there as trust in ourself, but interpreting this quote out of context as never believing in our own ears and eyes is a more damaging attitude than trusting our ability to train ourself and trust ourself first not others even when we learn... Tesla opposed his teachers at university who taught him that his electric motor idea was impossible... he did not trusted them but himself and created it after by solving all problems... individuality and creativity is the root of science and philosophy NOT SELF DOUBT...Science is not the market arena of a circus...Barnum is not a genius in philosophy of science...And if a sucker is born everyday on earth, a genius is born everyday on earth too... Loosing confidence in ourself and trusting others is the Key road to technocratic totalitarism, scientism, and any deep delusion created by the techno babbling people ...The death of thinking.,. quote means something in a context : when Feynmann created his solutions ad hoc to particules paths integrals...In spite of others advices ... Then this quote means this : for being able to not fool himself a man must LEARN when it is right to trust himself and not others and vice versa when it is right to trust others not ouself...Not knowing that TIMING MOMENT explain why we are the easiest person to fool... The quote is not a quote of a marketers as Amir or from a car or audio seller,or from Barnum saying a suckers is born everyday, A favorite quote of official "debunkers" sheeps objectivist crowds, it is from a scientist doubting himself and others BECAUSE he look for truth FOR HIMSELF first ... Feynman for sure never recommend obedience to authorities as Amir or alleged authorities ask for , instead of trust in yourself...Thats is certain... Prof you miss Feyerabend teachings in the philosophy of science course... 😊 |
@texbychoice Didn’t even really catch that. Good eye. It’s a very subjective statement and one that isn’t even backed by Amir’s precious data. How the heck do you buy a processor and then spend that much money only to brick it? I’ve never heard of a product or company being so crappy. He must really not be hurting if he just doesn’t care about a $15,000 loss. Time to ask for more donations. @amir_asr so room treatments do nothing? All of the producers and sound engineers who record with them to create less issues and surrounding booths with it so the vocals are clean don’t know what they are doing?? You can hear the difference. It’s night a day. You literally use a tool that mimics an anechoic chamber. You really have your head up your rear end. |
