| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Hahaha links to all these facts please? Amir jumped a thread here and went on and on and on posting numerous charts, graphs, and long verbiage. Amir himself mentioned the search algorithm. Fact. There is a video of Amir asking AP engineer to m... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) We are in a truly dark age similar to what my parents grew up in during the 50s in the darkest phase of Communism when you had to call a monster a beauty pageant. @grislybutter Well... today we call beauty pageants monsters, so, same words, d... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) While the old trope about the hobby dying is getting tedious, there is no doubt that it is changing, and so it should. I’m a big fan of big floorstanders but let’s face it, they have a lot in common with dinosaurs at this point. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @texbychoice Now that’s a load of unsubstantiated BS - heavy on innuendo and MIA on facts. Mostly you sound angry and butthurt. It’s almost as if Amir had disparaged one of your products or something Amir himself automated a search process fo... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) 50% off of new gear within a couple years speaks to how overpriced this stuff is. $50,000 set of speakers going for $25,000 is ridiculous after two years. Realistically, your $50k retail speakers are worth $25k the minute the delivery guys pack... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @chervokas Thanks, very interesting, I did not know that. our ears and our brains are breaking down incoming complex waveforms into their component frequencies very much like an FFT, and, further, actually converting them into binary-like neur... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. One thing everyone can agree on about ASR is that they should really ditch the panther. Odd that they haven't been sued. | |
| Has it all been worth it? Where the listening chair intersects with the analyst's couch | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? The sound-quality range, if you will, of digital audio is far more narrow than analog audio's, and it continues to narrow down. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Harboring unreasonable price expectations is definitely a problem. Platforms are clogged with six-month-old or year-old or even older listings like overflowing toilets. Meanwhile, listings that are priced competitively still sell within a couple... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) One great thing about Google is how it dredges up ads for long-since-sold gear. Not infrequently, you see circa-2000 gear commanding less money in 2010 (when it was 10 years old) than the ask today, at 25 years old, in 2025. Is it possible that ... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? @inna please do speak French! Tekton c'est de la merde 😂😂🤣 | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Maybe seeing tekton mentioned is good luck, like stepping on a turd. | |
