The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
@oberoniaomnia You want burden of proof? Ok I will give you burden of proof. Go measure the capacitance and inductance of cables, they can vary greatly. Low inductance has a sound profile. High inductance has a sound profile. Low/high capacita...

@jrareform  Well said.  I'd like to ask the ASR supporters. 1) What has ASR actually done to propel this industry forward? 2) Name a product(s) that has world class measurement from ASR that also happens to be beloved by the experienced audio ...

Liquid spark sounds fantastic and has plenty of power for little money.

@richardbrand Ain't no way the binding post will even up your bumps. Even if it did, you still wouldn't want a pure copper spade, the oxygen and humidity will destroy it over time. So this circles us back to the initial point. A good connector wo...

@devinplombier "Pure copper makes an excellent spade connector" A pure copper spade will have uneven bumps resulting in poor connection.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMjBUvEHVdc Here’s another video of Erin with even more amplifiers. A traditional Mcintosh with a house-sound and piss-poor measurement, vs a pair of Mono class D with "better" measurements with a focus on pure neu...

@richardbrand Are you telling me silver and copper sound the same? They have different electrical properties, different capacitance and inductance, so the question is, do you think they both sound the same? Also pure copper is far from an "excell...

A brain exercise for those who think all cables sound the same because ASR measured them to be the same: The terminal connector of a cable cannot be pure copper, because copper cannot hold a shape well enough. It's usually a mix different metals ...

@decooney  "It only matters to those who can hear a difference. "   This is actually quite profound.

@oberoniaomnia Regarding cables, all you need to know is the capacitance, the inductance, the purity, and the quality of the terminal connectors, and the method in which the wire is meld with the connector. You think these things, on an individual...

@oberoniaomnia There are thousands of people like you, Amir & Gene & Erin included, that cannot hear a difference with cables. Doesn’t mean there isn’t. Different metals of cables, purity, capacitance, inductance, quality of connectors, ...

I see the same mistakes being made again. Being against ASR is not the equivalent of being against measurement. Hold up a dac in your hand. It is a product of pure science, and engineer. To say that we don't trust science or data is pure nonsense...

If you ship a non-traditional item to ASR for review, no matter how good. Amir will absolutely destroy that product in his measurements. This I can guarantee you. He absolutely obliterated, massacred the Chord Dave he reviewed. There is no shorta...

ASR most praised products do not sound good. I can tell you exactly why the Topping D90SE is a mediocre product. Clearly distinguishable in a blind test. Keep in mind the D90SE is the best measurement DAC of all time. There’s a clear disconnect ...
