The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.


Imagine doing a wine review as follows - samples of wines are assessed by a reviewer who measures multiple variables including light transmission, specific gravity, residual sugar, salinity, boiling point etc.  These tests are repeated while playing test tones through the samples at different frequencies.

The results are compiled and the winner selected based on those measurements and the reviewer concludes that the other wines can't possibly be as good based on their measured results.  

At no point does the reviewer assess the bouquet of the wine nor taste it.  He relies on the science of measured results and not the decidedly unscientific subjective experience of smell and taste.

That is the ASR approach to audio - drinking Kool Aid, not wine.

One thing everyone can agree on about ASR is that they should really ditch the panther. Odd that they haven't been sued.

@devinplombier    I agree, Owens Corning has to pay to use the panther. You think Amir is paying to use the panther, I doubt it.

Sure he paid, he bought it.  Its his panther.

I suggest it is not just gear that is susceptible to effects of noise or responsible for generating noise, but also interactions between low and high current cables (AND THEIR CONNECTORS) that are operating in close proximity to each other and may create distortion, slight changes in timing or actual signal loss.  Until everything is hooked up together, you really don’t know what you got.
