@prof I don’t think I saw anyone say Amir was the only rude one. Amir continually points out why everyone else is wrong, but him. How is that possible? It’s not. From the first comment he made on this thread, it has been him telling everyone why they are wrong while avoiding any hard hitting questions. He then spams links to his website, and promotes himself all the while saying no forum allows that which is why he has to ban other people on his website who do what he does and shuts down threads. He then claims that this is because they are on YouTube and it needs to stay on Youtube. BS. He doesnt like the competition.
@soundfield pointed to two old posts Amir made one was about how he didnt level match here is the quote
I did not level match anything. However, once I found one source was worse than the other, I would then turn up the volume to counter any effect there. Indeed, doing so would close the gap some but it never changed the outcome. Note that the elevated level clearly made that source sound louder than the other. So the advantage was put on the losing side.
And the other was from his own companies website where he promotes at the time $50,000 per pair amplifiers which he still uses in his system. You can see it in the picture he posted in this very discussion.
He has not reviewed the very amp that is in his reference system as far as I can tell. He has not addressed any of the above. Why the change of heart? He claims to be this objective evangelist, but you dont get to claim that while ignoring a different story of the past.
The lack of accountability on his part is remarkable. I don’t run a website promoting data and objectivity when he consistently avoids the harder hitting questions and denies any other people of his ilk to talk about their methods on his website. Erin was banned.
@amir_asr How do you promote rigorous ABX testing when you admit you did not do that in the past? How do you not have numbers up for your current amp?
