| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. No one with expensive high quality speakers would drive these with cheap electronics. This isnt the issue. The issue is if Wilson can achieve the same quality of sound making the speakers higher impedance with a more refined curve. As it stands Wi... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Amir is absent from this thread because of the damage he did to his "brand" the last time he got involved. Textbychoice is correct with numbers 1,3 and 4 listed above. Didnt know about the engineer video. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. An amps ability to drive lower impedance loads has no relation to the amps quality. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Our audio group routinely does simple double blind tests and I can tell you it is not a relaxing experience. I am convinced that people listen very differently under testing conditions than they do normally. But the real issue is why should you ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. The real question is why do the doubters care? Amir is not a scientist! Wouldnt make a bit of difference if he was. ASR takes an extreme view and attracts the disgruntled along the way. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. The quality of the gear is not in question. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. devin I cant remember where I saw a photo of his system. It may have been when Amir was responding to ASR related posts on Audiogon and I may have found it clicking on his monicker and then system specifics. All I can tell you is that it appeared... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Check out the photo of Amir's reference system. See any problems? | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Well I guess since Amir admits he listens to less than 50% of the products he reviews, those who believe a proper review can be conducted without listening, should be comfortable with ASR's methods. To me even the suggestion of a review based simp... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I think it has more to do with reinforcing what some hope to be true. Exposing the virtues of a $ 1000 USB cable isnt the same as making a person feeling foolish for not buying one. On a personal note, my brother an engineer, bought both Toppi... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I think you are missing the real point when describing design flaws with certain speakers. It is not an issue of the quality of the amp or what type of load the amp can drive. The simple fact is that lower impedance speakers are harder to drive, r... | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." Also dont forget the influence that decades long relationships have in this game. | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." I am not referring to industry accommodation. This program has been available, in most instances, to me for over the last 20 years. I was referring to the literal definition as cash for a positive review. | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? Absolutely correct about 300B amps. So much is the power supply. In fact, it took an expensive, properly engineered 300B amp to open my ears to this tube as viable. Have never heard a good 300B amp for less than 15K. | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." No if you leave the definition open of "pay to play". I think that Stereophile is the worst. |
