@amir_asr Pretty sure you explained what ASR does. It's a science like Scientology!
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.

TacT processor was not snake oil in any sense, strict or otherwise. It was a pioneering system with multi channel Room EQ and digital in and out. It was what led to Room EQ eventually becoming standard in every AV processor or Receiver you buy today. It was and has been transformative. The processor was expensive to build. Each channel had a dedicated board with its own high performance, dedicated DSP. It was a marvel of audio engineering:
You are completely out of line with this line of questioning and discussion. |
@amir_asr You better ban me. Oh wait you can't because this isnt your forum. |
@prof Okay your call. I was responding to what you said. My point remains that people on ASR call products snake oil based on their expensive price. All day long. |
