I’d ask the clown car that does freq domain snapshots to measure my violins or my piano....bet that would go well/swell...
"Bad violin", said the dingus dumbernicus...
The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
Imagine doing a wine review as follows - samples of wines are assessed by a reviewer who measures multiple variables including light transmission, specific gravity, residual sugar, salinity, boiling point etc. These tests are repeated while playing test tones through the samples at different frequencies.
The results are compiled and the winner selected based on those measurements and the reviewer concludes that the other wines can't possibly be as good based on their measured results.
At no point does the reviewer assess the bouquet of the wine nor taste it. He relies on the science of measured results and not the decidedly unscientific subjective experience of smell and taste.
That is the ASR approach to audio - drinking Kool Aid, not wine.

Here’s a very nice Tom Martin review of the Perlisten speaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leL1vXcKhZw Think we all know how Perlisten speakers tend to measure, pretty freaking good. But, i’d like for a reviewer to be articulate the sound of it as good as Tom. He isn’t even 'selling' anything in this review, he tells ya who it may work for and who it may not work for.. Is the ASR Reviewer (Revel/Harman dealer/sales guy, Madrona Digital) capable of doing such a review? There are speakers that measure and sound better than Harman trash, but, he’ll find a way to diss them...gotta worry about Madrona Digital sales...not to mention that he sounds like a water bottle with a hundred holes. |
