My motto was : at peanuts costs...
😉
That’s a hell of an investment. $100k on a measurement system as opposed to $100k on a system. Whatever boat you float….
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.

Do a bit a research and you'll learn those primitives were limited in their understanding, of what they saw with their eyes, based on their prior experience, education and BIASES. A rewind:
OR, two:
At the very first mention of something as simple as Wave Function (a BASIC tenet of Quantum Mechanics), the Cargo Cult will label you a KOOK. But remember: they can only view/understand you, based on their limited experience, education and BIASES. They have overlooked the fact that, if not for the hypotheses/theories and experimentation, regarding Quantum Mechanics: a plethora of modern conveniences, medical devices and the gear they so love, would not exist. Had scientists, chemists and inventors shared the doctrines of the Cargo Cult (Denyin'tologists), there would be no semiconductors, computer chips, LASERs, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging devices (MRIs). Solid State amps? OOPS (back to tubes)! Your Smart Phone? FA'GET ABOUT IT! Your car's GPS? NOPE! Then too: some may be willfully ignorant and just enjoy being contentious. Others: obtuse, uneducated*, misinformed? *Typically, from what's been exhibited here: H.S. STEM, if that, would be a safe inference. Either way: the result, when the Cult begins it's rhetoric is a classic demo of the Dunning- Kruger Effect. But, I digress: Bring up those pesky details, regarding the likes of QED, Dielectric Absorption, Poynting's theorem and possible application/effects, relative to frequency, that our musical signals are carried via photon or wave, outside the conductor and you're a KOOK? Again: the Cargo Cult can only understand anyone with an actual background, experience and education in Physics/QED, based on their beliefs, education, experience and biases Remember this?.
Oh well: let 'em go build a runway! references: https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/quantum-101/quantum-applications-today But: I'm a kook, because I believe in the SCIENCE, from which all that sprang? Einstein got that last one wrong (Quantum Entanglement), BUT- I still wish he'd been alive, when the Hubble Telescope proved, what he considered his, "greatest blunder" (his inability to bring symmetry to his field equation, without lambda. Another example of a hypothesis/theory, with no way to EXPERIMENT/MEASURE, what you're sure must be there, in some detectable way, or another. Just for fun: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/6-times-quantum-physics-blew-our-minds-in-2022/ Happy listening! |
What is even more comical is thinking any of those disciplines teach you anything about acoustic science. My piano teacher doesn't know a tweeter from a woofer. A design engineer is taught how to put electronic circuits together, not deal with psychoacoustics of sound in a room. As to other "informed people," I don't know who they are and what their qualifications are if they are hiding behind aliases. |
I am thankful and fortunate enough to have both. Didn't you see the picture of my system earlier? You only have audio as a music hobby. I also have it as a hobby when it comes to discovery of performance of those systems and sharing them with others. The joy that comes from that easily rivals if not beat listening to music. Take today's review, the superbly designed Neumann KH120 II Studio Monitor: Check out its frequency response: Absolutely stunning. It is nearly as flat as audio electronics yet what you see is an electromechanical device. Read the comments and see the level of appreciation and tell me doing this review didn't bring joy to my heart. |
Are you playing with me ? why deforming my thinking ? I learned acoustic by studying but experimenting at the same time... You cannot change the fact...by mocking all people here and thinking you are alone with books and articles... and only you can read them... You proved you know little in acoustic because you never done it yourself... using EQ is not an acoustically "tour de force"...
State for me the fundamental problem in psycho-acoustic and show me your deep understanding ... You never did it a bit in the last 5 days... 😊
What astonish me with your arrogance and despise for audiophiles here, is not what you say, it is the fact you are not even conscious that anybody reading your posts with a brain know you know NOTHING in psycho-aqcoustic save the tools instruction manual of your psycho-aqcoustic costly toys.. you dont impress me and me, apart my acoustic experments, i am a nobody in audio .. I learned how to listen tough... Try to tune your room from your basement plumber and house discarded materials and come back to show me the soundfield results ? We will see if you had digested Toole information as more than ABSTRACT recipe ... I know designer here who i read and i KNOW that they KNOW what they speak about... They dont play boss.. 😊😊
