| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @helomech That is BS. Who trained them to hear that way. I would say fine, if they were a trained musician. Not supposed golden ears. I have been when a few were fooled by low-cost systems when they couldn't see the system playing. I went through... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @cdc You don’t have the reviewers’ ears. So, anything subjective said is like throwing darts. I ignore the subjective crap they throw out because it is useless to me. I look at the measurements on Stereophile - ignore the platitudes. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @mahgister I have foibles just like anyone else, but as the old saying goes, "I have no dog in this fight'. I just feel people should listen and discuss rationally. I have issues getting out of hand, just like anyone else. It is easy, when you jus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Also, today is Bandcamp Friday where more money goes to the artists. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @mahgister Agree partially. I feel there are cultists on both sides and there is trench between them and that is usually where I find myself. They are both right and wrong at the same time. If they would listen to each other instead of talking ov... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Here is another - The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis It is not for everyone as members of the Messthetics are from the band Fugazi. When in the right mood, it is a fantastic listen. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @dwcda Then it is an audiophile forum. It seems that is all audiophiles do, like their life's depend on being right. I get the exact same feeling from this forum, and that is the point. One needs to ignore the yellers and passive-aggressive people... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @rankaudio That is nice. Have anything CONSTRUCTIVE to say? | |
| Gustard R26 @rischa yes - the SPDIF connections, for me sound lifeless - I have not tried the ethernet connection so I cannot comment. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @tonywinga Actually - I think it is YOU that takes yourself too serious. Amir is doing a service by measuring equipment. He used his own money to buy the equipment. What is wrong with that? I don't go to ASR, maybe once a year or so, but WOW. I ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @tonywinga because he is entitled to his opinion. Just like you are. Don't like his opinion, don't read it. No one is forcing you. Ever hear the phrase, 'Thou dost protest too much"? It seems many audiophiles are scared of what Amir is saying. I... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @tonywinga Amir, I believe was involved audio codecs in MS Windows, so he has some expertise in sound, etc. Amir could correct me, if I am wrong. What audio device HAVE YOU designed? Since you are throwing shade, it is just fair. Amir is using a... | |
| Gustard R26 All I use. It works great and sounds great. It is more optimized for USB, as it uses the same USB chip that is used in other Gustards and SMSL. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @audphile1 I was the lab manager and fermentation expert at a distillery. We had to be trained for tasting. The American Distillers Institute has classes on it. They use base flavors and fragrances to train with. This way, one can use the same des... | |
| Chicago, Illinois It will be a chat, listen, maybe eat and drink affair. You have been to my place. So you know, we enjoy people chatting and enjoying themselves. I will make sure my friend, who was at the Christmas get together will not be there. Dave |
