Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy

"Audiophiles are Snobs"  Youtube features an idiot!  He states, with no equivocation,  that $5,000 and $10,000 speakers sound equally good and a $500 and $5,000 integrated amp sound equally good.  He is either deaf or a liar or both! 

There is a site filled with posters like him called Audio Science Review.  If a reasonable person posts, they immediately tear him down, using selected words and/or sentences from the reasonable poster as100% proof that the audiophile is dumb and stupid with his money. They also occasionally state that the high end audio equipment/cable/tweak sellers are criminals who commit fraud on the public.  They often state that if something scientifically measures better, then it sounds better.   They give no credence to unmeasurable sound factors like PRAT and Ambiance.   Some of the posters music choices range from rap to hip hop and anything pop oriented created in the past from 1995.  

Have any of audiogon (or any other reasonable audio forum site) posters encountered this horrible group of miscreants?

ASR likes Storm and Salon 2 :-)

 

Amir has these speakers, so everyone gets them!

Too many times Amir will test a piece of equipment that someone loved and they wind up selling it like sheep.

Just to buy what he recommends.

Are you listing to your music or just buying what your told?

You have neither proven the uselessness of ASR testing, nor have you provided alternatives

Sir you have been here rambling on for awhile now.

There has been NO ONE who says that measurements, ASR measurements or any measurements are useless!

Most seem to be like my view. They aid in the evaluation of equipment, but I do not rely on them alone.

What has been the issue from the 1st page is the culture of ASR!

And that to that, you keep reiterating their point again and again..ad nauseam.

For a man who flaunts his education, I would think you’d get it by now.

 

Amir don’t need a fanboy, fighting his battles.

if you didn't have only 9 posts, all in this topic, all effectively band-handed attacks on ASR, then I may take your post seriously. However, as you do have only 9 posts, all in this topic, I see no need to take you seriously. That would create an account, solely for the purpose of attacking ASR is definitely a point of interest. Education is important if you want to understand certain topics.

Yea, your right! 9 posts in 2 1/2 years.

You have what 72 posts in 1 week?

Silence is NOT a weakness, now matter how you want to spin it.

I am educated my friend, unlike you, I dont need to flaunt it.

Your still making my point however.

Ha!  Minus the religious proselytizing of AA.  For some I suppose it could be a similar detox from being marinated in audiophile myths ;-) 

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room forum is now dumber for having listened to it. You have sunk to the pits of irrelevance, and may God have mercy on your soul.
