| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @coralkong I was done with ASR a while ago, and you haven't changed my opinion. No worries. I am only responding to what people write about me/ASR. Stop doing that and I won't interact with you. | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @laoman You still have not answered if you actually ever check whether Yang sends you off the shelf products or cherry picked ones. This is now the fourth time I have put this to you. Scared? Fourth time? I have only seen it now. First, no,... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @jerryg123 What’s really great is @amir_asr slams a line of affordable cables… Thanks for acknowledging that. A $10 bottle of water is also affordable. It doesn't mean they get a free pass to claim health benefits for it over a $1 one. If a... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler @westcoastaudiophile No, I absolutely don’t believe that. After testing 100s of cables, I know for a fact on various systems, that the most expensive cables are often inferior (sounding). That is not "fact." It is hyperbole with ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @westcoastaudiophile @amir_asr "Do you really think we don’t listen to music?”using your own jargon, what “irks" me is a claim as you are able to distinguish in your listening tests between 0.001% and 0.005% THD sources, employing ~5% HD spea... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler @westcoastaudiophile I don’t know of any high end/expensive/boutique cable manufacturers who provide testing measurements of their cables. Iconoclast does. They have extensive specifications/measurements. Alas, none of that resulte... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @coralkong Put the multimeter down and try listening with your ears. You might be amazed at what you discover. This is what irks me immensely. Why on earth do you weaponize one of the main things we have in common? The enjoyment of music? ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler Imagine, my neighbor's $1/2 million system and he was strangling the sound using Pangea power cables (he has high end speaker, ICs and digital cabling). Once he replaced them with superior design and manufactured cables, he (and I)... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler @coralkong Really? Or course! That's why I tell non-audiophiles not to purchase expensive cables or tweaks because they won't hear a difference if the rest of their system is below mid-fi. How are you judging their system to b... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @coralkong They lost me for good after hooking up a $400 power cable to a $500 DAC and then stating that it measures, and therefore sounds, exactly the same as a $30 power cable hooked to the same DAC. Uh-huh. huh indeed. You are telling me... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @westcoastaudiophile @amir_asr "They make very rudimentary measurements often using obsolete audio analyzers” Dear, your APx555 with -117dB NF is outdated to measure my -124dB NF DAC :-), not talking here about RFI/EMI noise polluted environm... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @tantejuut We don’t all have 1000+ people at hand to conduct (DBX) tests for any statistic significance. Or have expensive test equipment. Interpret measurements correct and be humble about your personal bias as a tester or audiophile. I can li... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @tantejuut 4) On the other hand, people should not make claims about the hearing capabilities of other people. If multiple people subjectively can describe parameters of a component that can’t be supported by measurements (yet) it should be tak... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I should add that as soon as Schiit started to measure their products, their performance shot up through the roof. It created a new market for them with that improved performance. So there is business opportunity there for companies. | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I have plenty of this data. It falls in these categories: 1. Company never bothered to make any measurements. You can count on this being the reason in just about any audio tweaks (cables, etc.). I know this because they are often surprised by... |
