What an absolute debacle of a post, lol.
The Kraken, the serf, and tons of useless measurements. It's all here,folks.
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
After my Audio Science Review review forum, it became apparent that nearly the only way one can determine the measurements of an audio product is wait for a review on line or in a publication. Most equipment is never reviewed or is given a subjective analysis rather than a measurement oriented review. One would think that manufacturers used tests and measurements to design and construct their products.
Manufacturers routinely give the performance characteristics of their products as Specifications. Those are not test measurements.
I searched the Revel speaker site for measurements of any of their speakers and could not find any. Revels are universally lauded for their exceptional reviewed measurements. Lack of published manufacturer measurements is true for nearly every speaker manufacturer I've searched for on line, perhaps several hundred. Same is true for amps, pre-amps, DACs, transports, turntables, well you get the picture. Do they have something to hide? I doubt the good quality products have anything to hide but poor quality products do.
ASR prides itself in providing "true" measurements that will aid in purchase decisions. Why don't the manufacturers provide these measurements so that reviewers can test if they are truthful or not?
Then there are the cables and tweaks for which I suspect that there are inadequate tests available to measure sonically perceived differences but which objectivists believe don't exist or are "snake oil."
Well, please chime in if you have some illuminating thoughts on the subject.
I would have loved to see manufacturers measurements on my equipment and especially those that I rejected.

I sent @amir_asr a message on here. Not sure if he saw it or had time to read it. No response yet. Part of the message i wrote with the headline "Live and Let Live" - straight from the web: you should tolerate the opinions and behavior of others so that they will similarly tolerate your own. Makes sense, right? I said to him: What often gets you trouble on virtually every forum (other than ASR) is you always wanting to be right, telling others they are wrong, or interjecting your beliefs upon others who are not interested. I have learned that "Live and Let Live" is a good way to go about conversing on forums. For example, I recently saw a post about an OP wanting to maybe buy a brand-i-don't-like product. I hate the brand and the low-quality etc. it's a toy to me. Not audio equipment for me. I didn't tell the OP that...because I know that perhaps they will like it. And I'd rather not interfere... Not my money to spend. If someone else is happy with an audio product, then sure, i'm happy for them. Whatever.

Forget about it. He has no system. Zero. It’s so funny he now he pretends to be a speaker manufacturer. I have asked him the same exact question everytime during his previous 16-17 usernames. He will tell you nothing. Not even the name of one single piece of his imaginary “system”

😎 Sorry Amir. You helped me prove my point by providing more details! Am I like this in real life? Sometimes. Not always! All of that would have still been possible without you leading it, or your team. |

Schiit releases very detailed measurements for every one of their products. For example, go to the link below and open the very detailed audio precision report. https://www.schiit.com/products/tyr As you can see, companies like Schiit make the ASR b-hole king and his minions useless (the latter couldn’t produce a report of this caliber). It would be good though if more manufacturers would release measurements of the above caliber so ASR gets more useless by the day. Such manufacturers sure know a whole lot more about measurements than the latter. Here are some other alternatives to ASR w.r.t measurements.....Erin’s Audio Corner, John Atkinson, Audioholics, etc |
