| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I think that ASR has chosen an extreme stance not for any particular reason except to incite an even greater amount of tribalism in this hobby. Nope. The "stance" I have taken is follow proper science and engineering. This uses to be the norm i... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews But I agree regarding the culture over at ASR and Amir. He came into the Roon forum to debate Michal Jurewicz from Mytek. Some of the other members became involved and Amir was quite arrogant and condescending. Far more people appreciated my po... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews The ASR crowd was probably never much of a market for his speakers, and as we can see here, lots of people are not very impressed with the way ASR does reviews. That is a misstatement. Tekton advertises the M-Lore has having very linear (flat) r... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews b - Baffle step - As popularized and researched by the late, great Jeff Bagby, the effects of the baffle on the output need to be included in any whole speaker/room simulation, which of course also means the speaker should have this built in when ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews One ASR review spends an amazing amount of time and effort analyzing the ~$800 US Tekton M-Lore. That price compares very favorably with a full Seas A26 kit from Madisound, around $1,700. I mean, not sure these inexpensive speakers deserve quite t... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I’ve briefly taken a look at some online reviews for budget Tekton speakers from ASR and Youtube. Both are based on Klippel quasi-anechoic measurements to achieve "in-room" simulations. Your intro is incorrect. Klippel Near-field scanner produces... | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? OOps. Post the 8 ohm power sweep. Here is 4 ohm: | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? @ozzy What does Nominal Impedance mean? I’m trying to decide on some new speakers (Clarisys Minute). They are rated at 86-88 sensitivity and a nominal impedance of 3.5 flat. Although graphs show it about 6 ohms from 20hz-500hz and at 2Khz and ... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @andy2 Hi Amir, How would you propose we measure the LessLoss BlackGround 10x Power Base :-)? Five ways: 1. Measure the sound waves coming out of different audio products. Contrary to their marketing attempts, we don’t listen to ground, pow... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @ozzy I have noticed there has not been any new ASR videos on the site for several months. What’s the deal? Banana rotten? More like rotten software. I use OBS for my videos. I recorded a near 1 hour tutorial on how to read DAC measurements. ... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @oddiofyl Sometimes they measure what is a great product. The RME adi2 DAC was the darling of ASR until it's measurements were surpassed by some Chi Fi DAC which of course they loved. Who is "they?" Countless people have RME DACs and love ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @bigtwin @mastering92 Re Amir and ASR. I asked Paul at PS Audio to explain how Amir's testing of the PS Audio Power Plant showed the device did nothing at all. Here's Paul's reply, which I got in only one day. That's impressive in itself H... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @bolong If you can’t trust your ears, what makes you think you can trust measurements? Oh, we trust your ears completely. It is the rest of your body which you include in "sound" evaluation that causes problems. This is the reasons audio rese... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @mastering92 What success? A failed tech executive at Microsoft, worked at Sony for a while, made no meaningful contributions that stand today. No one from his generation knows who he is or what he does. Man, that is a meanspirited thing to... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @mastering92 So you are the audio measurement god and all companies must yield before you so that you can measure their electronics and rank them on your website? Who cares what they use. Does it sound good? That's what really matters. Anothe... |
