| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Prof are you a sophist? Are you nearsighted? You seem to have misread my post. For sure we can tell by measurements that certain sonic claims MAY BE false ( not are always false as you wrote) this does not means that all audible characteris... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @audition__audio The crux of this entire thing comes down to the fact that most measurements do not tell you how a device will sound. This is a "speak for yourself" moment ;-) People who actually understand measurements can tell quite a b... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews BTW, can someone explain to me how you evaluate the sound of a product you don't even listen to? Well, take the example of cables. Any decent cable should, used within spec, be audibly transparent. Take claims about, say, an expensive USB... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @terry9 Agreed. I've often argued that to point out the relevance of measurements and controlled listening test is NOT to entail that audiophiles are required to do any such thing in enjoying the hobby. I also have perceptions that I just role ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @prof No, I don’t think so. Single blind tends to not lie, I agree that properly done single blind tests CAN be informative. and I’ve done enough of those.to convince me. Ok. That's fine. But unless you produce results for others to... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @mahgister You miss the point. Everything you wrote is moot unless it is the case, for any example, that we really are able to detect a sonic difference. The most reliable method of doing this is listening tests controlling for biases. And... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Amir actually believes that all things coming out of your stereo can be measured and even subtle differences will show up in testing. Why wouldn't that be the case? Remember why we usually create tools, especially measuring tools? Because of ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Amir and ASR don't deserve this much attention. I find this to be sad. Nobody needs to agree with everything Amir has said to be able to recognize how much valuable information Amir has produced, both in explaining some of the principles in au... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @tonywinga You've made some assertions without evidence. I like Amir's approach because he actually produces evidence. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Amir has an opinion like anyone else. He wraps that opinion in some pretty paper that he calls science. His weak minded followers seem to overlook his lack of credentials and his inaccurate metrology methods. Correct me if I am wrong, but Amir... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? The worst "high end" speakers I've ever personally heard are: Every McIntosh Speaker I've ever heard - the ones with the multi tweeters. Just bland, awful sound and a lot of it. Some big expensive NEAT speakers a local dealer demoed for me. He... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Remember when the Tekton Double Impacts were the new "flavour of the month" and (some) reviewers and audiophiles were "dumping their Wilsons" and other more expensive speakers for the DIs? Seems the heat of all that has worn off. Still, it's goo... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Not a coincidence ;-) | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I'm of two minds about this question. On one hand, I do want my speakers to measure well. It suggests good engineering for one thing. Also, if something is too colored I think it will bother me either immediately or over time. So I always look... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Not that Amir is always right or every conclusion and argument is unimpeachable. But..he has a hell of a lot of knowledge and experience, and many of the criticisms that from sites like this come from audiophiles who "don’t know what they don’t k... |
