Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

@prof

Amir showed how the measured signal of the Nordost lined right up with that of a cheap cable. That tells you they will be audibly indistinguishable (in any likely set up).

You made a theory or a claim here. That’s all. Saying "they will be" is not good enough.

Why not prove it with a YT listening comparison of the two cables?

Since you/Amir made this claim, then the burden of proof is on you.

you COULD put what you think you hear to blind test controlling for bias. But most audiophiles won’t do that

First of all, you and Amir should follow your own advice.

You made a baseless claim here.

Audiophiles A/B all time when choosing components and cables, or when making tweaks. Because a listening comparison is the ONLY method used for judging sound quality.

There are many A/B tests on the YT and even blind tests.

Alphaaudio 12 speaker cables blind test

Why do you act like that, going around shouting about your measurement results without even listening to what you measured?

I have seen repeatable evidence that well designed audio has an inherent ability to reject mains-carried noise and that (as long as it’s well made

What if a product promoted by ASR or by you doesn’t sound good, should I base my desicision on my ears or your measurements?

Do you people ever do listening comparisons?

By the way, Amir owns a Mark Levinson No 532 power amplifier that costs $20,000. I find it strange that Amir couldn’t find a much cheaper well designed amp. Perhaps you could guide Amir to some well designed cheaper components.

I mean components with identical measurements sound the same, right?

First of all, how dare you classify me as "you people"? 

????

Never mind. 

You cannot return a bit of repaired audio kit without first proving you've eliminated the reported problem and ears+brain are insufficient

It's not about repearing faulty components and listening to them afterwards. That mean's nothing here. 

1- Have you compared quality components and speaker/interconnect/power cables from known brandd in AB tests and what were your findings? 

2- What if a product promoted by Amir or by you doesn’t sound good, should I base my desicision on my ears or your measurements?

3- Do you believe that components/cables with identical measurements sound the same?

Double Blind tests *did* show amplifiers to sound different 

Do you believe the same about cables?
