So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video


There is a recent video by Steve Guttenberg’s friend Mark on speaker isolation devices. In the video, Mark uses informal listening observations and a microphone and software to try to distinguish differences between different isolation devices with inconclusive results. He then resorts to a blind ABX test with an interesting control related to speaker position.

I really like it for several reasons. One, it is well produced and dryly funny.  Two, it shows a promising approach to blind ABX testing.  I am also in the market for speaker isolation devices.

I posted it on this forum yesterday highlighting the ABX element and nobody commented.  I also posted it on Audio Science Review where it prompted a page plus of discussion including the forum host Amir, most of it skeptical, and then today it was pulled from the site.  The mic drop seemed to really irritate some people there. Or I don’t know, maybe it was something in one of my posts in reply - l’ll never know now.

I am curious what folks on Agon think about the subject matter, the approach and the production values of the video.

I find what I call alligators along side the road .if you follow big trucks to close they throw things at you.its great for the environment because I clean the spent tire parts that's part of a big government grant I got it's working great.the side deal is my friend has this business chopping the alligators up ie tires and they use it for playground material. I figure what's good for the kids is good insulation for the speakers heck tires make your car ride better. After all most of these isolators are made of rubber.then I go to harbor freight and buy these expensive isolators called carpet dollies.i have my 700 lb magico q7 on them and roll them around for exercise.reminds me of Jane fonda. I think the drop the mic moment was a bit of humor and he stated he didn't know how to interput the data and that hurt some feelings. Having done alot of research there is scientific data variance. Enjoy the experience stay healthy don't eat red dye and keep happy.
