Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama

Amir does have an obvious slant, but measurements are important in making buying decisions. Hence, why all the flowery wordsmiths of the main audiophile press, I ignore. I make the decisions with MY EARS, not theirs.

I have watched all the videos, Eric did it right - he was upfront and open about it. Tekton left a bad taste in his mouth, because it was so passive/aggressive.

I have heard Tekton's many times, as I know people who have many pairs of them. None of them have ever impressed me with their sound, but that is me.

Sorry i dont see which post of me you refer too ... 😁

You must had cited the post ...

My last post is a one line approval of a common place fact ...😊

Anonymously here disdain often appear as hate especially if repeated behaviour , and i dont know what you refer to about juvenile loathing and petty behaviours...

i rarely speak in enigmas here ... But directly.... It is more simple this way ...

@magister You seem to confuse hate with disdain and loathing of juvenile and petty behaviors… Pick better heroes,,,

I agree measurements are important. What I’m saying is Amir misguides end-users by teaching them that unless gear measures well, that means it’s no good and he’s just absolutely dead wrong. The guy is a very strange individual and takes measurements too extreme and I’m astonished that people even trust his judgement. He doesn’t match gear properly and relies only on measurements and trashes gear that doesn’t measure to his likes. That’s absurd. If he doesn’t even take the time to listen to the gear he measures, then he’s just too one sided. He’s a really weird individual. If he was sued, I wouldn’t feel bad for him. Erin on the other hand a really nice guy. He makes measurements, BUT he also listens to the gear he tests to determine if the measurements are audible. That’s a great approach. I have nothing against measurements but there has to be a balance. Amir is way off the deep end.

Amir ideology is called techno-cultism...

It is pervasive in A.I. sleepwalking engineers crowds with no deep understanding of what is at stake in society right now...

This cult is born from hubris as soon as after the materialism dominate Anglo saxon Empire and the world after the victorious nominalism.It was a necessary stage for the advent of science but not the only one.

Techno cultism act of birth is just after Goethe Faust which denounce its blindness and denounced the replacement of the " free philosopher of nature" by the deal make in hell with the specialised unfree scientists working for the power in place and his corporations . In 1836 Wavell and Babbage, the father of A.I. in a reunion asked for the replacement of the title "philosopher of nature" by the shorter name "scientist" . Then the free philosopher was replaced by unfree specialised and controlled servant of corporate satanic powers. The same powers William Blake denounced in his own ways .

Techno cultism is a religious faith toward the only incoming God : A.I.

For them only measures are real. Human live in illusions. 😊

The modern era produce uneducated specialised slave workers called "scientists"; ask a doctor. many did subordinate Hippocrates oath to big pharma controls, if not tey are  ejected as incompetent. I will stop here ...😊

History teach well .

@atmasphere  I have issues with you saying negative reviews are because someone has an axe to grind. Maybe, but how does one define that?

I can say too many positive reviews, such as the MQA fiasco in the main audio magazines tell me it is the EXACT OPPOSITE problem. Too many positive reviews and not enough HONEST REVIEWS.
