Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless


 

“ … Bitrates, sampling rates, bit sizes, wattages, amplifier classes…. as an audio enthusiast, there are countless specifications to compare. But it is – virtually – all meaningless. Why? Because the specifications that matter are not reported ánd because every manufacturer measures differently. let’s explain that...”

Oh I have and that is because they get kicked!

How about you listen to the equipment you review instead of just measuring befor formulating an opinion. 

How about you go and read a review on ASR and watch a video or two before forming an opinion?  They will be devoid of this kind of bickering I am responding to. 

@amir_asr So how do the folks at other review based organizations do it? Sterophile, PTA, M&S, PF, ... I know they are better equipped in both staff and technology, and they are dedicated to one mission or job, Reviews. 

Quality not quantity. You just validated what many are saying here. 

Seeing how I review nearly 300 audio devices a year, that is a hell of a lot of listening tests!

Amir I did not ask you for anything. I am not your demographic.

You came here. Go back to your catbox then.

And what is this poop?

You are lying again. Your words I do not have time to do listening test doing 300 reviews a year.

Also when I am buying speakers I do not use any review sites. (not yours for sure) 1). again I am not your demographic, 2) I do in home auditions on my system, in my listening room. 

I would never trust any reviewer including or especially you.

 

 

They could not remotely provide consistent results of listening to the same set of speakers. You would want to put your trust in that???

When I perform listening tests, it is not for writing novels. It is to focus and quantify keep weaknesses in products

 Again you just validated what many here have been saying. You should not even be considered in the realm of professional reviewer's. 

You keep stepping in your own poop. 

@amir_asr ,

I perform 2-channel testing because a) a lot of people want to use their AV products for music also and b) I use 2-channel systems as the standard that the AV industry needs to strive to match.

I know they are better equipped in both staff and technology, and they are dedicated to one mission or job, Reviews. 

Quality not quantity. You just validated what many are saying here.
