AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend.........

prof,

I'm only going by your total comments thus far in these forums.

prof,

There are many levels of Nordost cables. I have tried most, but don’t prefer their sound. A little too thin for me. How about you? If you agree, then you believe that cables do matter...

Anyway, enough of this, I feel like our conversation takes me back through a time warp and what I believed 50 years ago.

Enjoy the hobby!

The ASR guy hasn't done a new video in months. Just sayin..

ozzy

prof,

Just think of all the money you have saved.

ozzy

Just remember, your ears are the most important measurement. I mean isn't that what this hobby is all about?

ozzy

Thanks. It helps me understand why you are so negative on the benefits of equipment upgrades. And why you are so close minded about listening vs measurement tests.

Please no long-winded reply. Can you keep it pithy?

ozzy

prof,

Can you post your system?

ozzy

prof,

It’s not a conclusion just an understanding.

Look back at what you have already posted early on in this thread. You have tried this or that and you conclude they don’t matter. Sort of like the Audio Science guy. .

Here is what YOU wrote:

"For instance since I know some audiophiles who have expensive cables sometimes if I’m in a pinch I borrow from them. For a while I had interconnects costing over $4,500/pair in my system (and well reviewed). Double checking specs with the ASR folks I replaced them with $50 regular pro-grade cables.

There isn’t an iota of sound/detail or anything missing in replacing those expensive cables. What a bummer if I thought I had to spend that type of money on cables...."

How open minded is that? Have you tried ALL cables? What about room acoustics, or even your own hearing?

Well, I think the measurements may be a starting point, but not the only critera. Measures good, sounds bad?

ozzy

prof,

I didn’t read all of your long replies. But when I read or hear someone spouting about how cables don’t matter it is usually from someone who has a very, let’s just say, a starter system.

The components you have listed however should be good enough to appreciate the benefits of upgraded cables. So that is a question.

So, either you have not tried quality cables, or something is amiss in your set up. But I guess if your happy with what you got, enjoy it.

Just don’t push the ASR crap on me. Sound quality matters not measurements.

Does the prof and waytoomuchstuff get paid by the printed word somehow?

I have noticed there has not been any new ASR videos on the site for several months. What’s the deal? Banana rotten?
