The fake science crowd pushing Toneloser gear is one of the reasons I stopped frequenting A’gon.
There are plenty of engineers and designers, actual smart people, whose measurements make sense. Galen Gareis, formerly head of design for Belden offers many technical specs and reasons why he designed his Iconoclast cables, and offers specs on each cable that ships.
The late great Bascom King, aside from being an esteemed engineer and designer (whose amps I am enjoying right now) used to do measurements for magazines and once measured an amp with much lower distortion than any other. It sounded poor.
The fake science crowd is all about feeling good thinking you’ve drinking champagne as good (or better than) a premium brand. Actually maybe that’s a new business model for them, they can measure premium beverages and debunk Dom Pérignon! Or maybe do stress tests on The stitches of Gucci jackets to prove that Kirkland brand clothes “measure” better.
I better rush and register Menswearsciencereview.com before someone else does.
I’ll buy a new usb microscope so I can verify thread count of the sheets I just bought, so I know if they feel soft or not.
