@hilde45 Its not unlike watching a snake swallow its tail. I’m ambivalent about the outcome but find an occasional glance at the progress inevitable.
Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?
It’s easy to make snide remarks like “yes- I do the opposite of what he says.” And in some respects I agree, but if you do that, this is just going to be taken down. So I’m asking a serious question. Has ASR actually changed your opinion on anything? For me, I would say 2 things. I am a conservatory-trained musician and I do trust my ears. But ASR has reminded me to double check my opinions on a piece of gear to make sure I’m not imagining improvements. Not to get into double blind testing, but just to keep in mind that the brain can be fooled and make doubly sure that I’m hearing what I think I’m hearing. The second is power conditioning. I went from an expensive box back to my wiremold and I really don’t think I can hear a difference. I think that now that I understand the engineering behind AC use in an audio component, I am not convinced that power conditioning affects the component output. I think.
So please resist the urge to pile on. I think this could be a worthwhile discussion if that’s possible anymore. I hope it is.

@maxwellseq Just curious what point you are trying to make. |
I want to publicly thank @mahgister for serving as the defacto and perhaps accidental Audiogon gatekeeper.
While I have neither the patience nor the time to read his rather lengthy posts, @mahgister is single handedly grinding Amir into submission. Each forum has a reason to exist, people choose the one they like that's where they tend to visit. Since I'm a vacuum tube guy, I don't need to visit ASR but certainly wish them no ill will. |
@amir_asr Gremlin or Aztec? The world wants to know! You should post your answer on your site though. |
@mahgister Amir just called and he would love it if you posted ALOT more on this topic over on ASR. He thinks it would add great value and everyone would welcome the spirited debate. |
