| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I know, right? I refuse to drink his Kool-Aid. Many of you rush to defend him. I find that bewildering. Raise a question on his YouTube channel and get viciously attacked- not a healthy environment. Will the same happen to these forums? | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Amir has his opinions like everyone else. When he publishes reports in peer reviewed journals, then perhaps it will be something more. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @botrytis Why are you defending him? Wake up and smell the coffee. Learn to think for yourself. There are other YouTube sites that do proper measurements of audio gear. Visit some of them and see the difference. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Then Amir, please reciprocate. 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. Cor... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? Speakers outside would be similar to being in a hemianechoic chamber. Good for testing but not much fun for listening. The room has a lot to do with the imaging. | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? It‘s not just the speakers. Good isolation of the components and cabling, I found helps to sharpen and focus the images. My current system, depending on the recording will paint a 3D soundstage that goes beyond the walls- if I close my eyes or t... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing The human brain can retain & compare audio for about a fraction of a second. If it takes 5-10 minutes, or even 1 minute to swap cables, your ability to remember what you heard and compare it with what you're hearing now is effectively zero. ... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing In the early 1990s I was working with automaker teams to reduce fuel system noise inside the cabin. They would do DBX testing of fuel systems with 4 jurors sitting in the car inside a hemianechoic chamber. The procedure was to run the system wit... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing The irony is that after the first drink the taste no longer matters. | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice Tomic601- that‘s awesome! I get ARC select tubes from Upscale Audio. They sound good. I have been changing the 6550WE at about 1500 hours and the 6H30pi tubes at 3200 hours. I notice a nice uptick in the sound at that point. Using a Ref 5SE a... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing It‘s simple. We have trolls with no real interest in audio that make comments to the contrary apparently out of boredom. To call someone arrogant or foolish for building a stereo system based on their hearing is nuts. Blind testing has a purpos... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I wonder if botrytis realizes he has wandered into a blind alley. He has mixed up the concept of ABX testing by a panel for commercial sales with a home user selecting components for his audio system. To put it in terms botrytis brought up- wo... | |
| Aries-Cerat Helene Review Thank you for that insight phantom_av. I find the Helene and the Antipodes K50 to be a powerful, musical combination. On my system at least the sound of digital and the sound of vinyl have converged. When I play a record now I am surprised how ... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Everyone knows Red cars are faster and sexier- Oh yeah. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I ACTUALLY watched the video. Yes, the more trials the more r will converge to one. Any statistics quoted should have an r value listed as well. DBT testing does not interest me any more than how a designer comes up with and tests his amplifier... |
