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?
Ok, this may seem like a silly question to some; many of us know that it takes time for the amplifiers to break in. I have been observing it again and again, with every amp I have or have had in the past. Can the breaking in differences be measured? Like before and after. Before is when it is out of the box brand new, and after, say, 100 hours of listening.

Can you give an example of what that gear (you may be looking for) is that ASR helps you as a starting point in. It’s a bit confusing really. And where does the science come in, in measuring? |
@mikepowellaudioRE I had to weigh in as this is too hard to resist.... |
