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.

Can the moderator please close this thread or ban Amir or preferably both. Amir is using this thread to direct traffic to and advertise his site, things for which he has thrown off others from his own site. I am tired of his arrogance, insults and rudeness.

Should said banning and deletion of this thread occur, let me express my extreme gratitude to the moderators/site owners for allowing me to comment this far.  For this, I will forever be grateful.  They have gone above and beyond in making this forum hospitable for me despite like above.

Sincerely,

Amir

@prof and if you think Amir isnt promoting ASR on here, something he staunchly is opposed to on his website, I dont know what to tell you

Should said banning and deletion of this thread occur, let me express my extreme gratitude to the moderators/site owners for allowing me to comment this far.  For this, I will forever be grateful.  They have gone above and beyond in making this forum hospitable for me despite like above.
