Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

@kevn 

nice post, but a couple items:

when has Amir said he knows everything? I am not a regular follower of his content, so I could certainly have missed it.

given the history and the current state of the industry, rife with snake oil, pushing manufacturers to back up their claims is 100% a good thing. 

listening is subjective, and very influenced by biases, but with the appropriate balance of objective information, you can truly develop your listening skills. 

there are way too many people on this forum (and others) that would buy a special “audiophile” air purifier for their listening room thousands of dollars, and then in every post, they are a hammer looking for a nail as resolution to all subjects and issues.

there are always two sides of the coin, and if you force a division, nobody wins.

@kevn here is my take on true narcissism; “I don’t know a topic, therefore no one knows this topic”.

there is very little a physics perspective that is not known about EMI, close to 0. You may not know much about it, per your own admission, but physicists do, and asserting that we need to learn more to understand the interactions because you don’t, but others do, is the very definition of narcissism.

@ossicle2brain  let’s listen to a magico M9 with a SVS prime, that’s a good combo, right?

ignoring measurements puts you at a very expensive disadvantage. 

Lots of stones thrown in glasshouses all around. 
 

calling a ASR member zealot is just plain stupid and counterproductive. They actually have their beliefs anchored to something, a foundation, vs no anchor at all of the “it is all in the ears” people, which isn’t even remotely factual. It is all in your brain, not your ears. But hey, facts never stopped the anti ASR crew before!
