Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@rcaguy I am NOT a data denier. I also am not a real audiophile since I do not worry about my equipment (or their measurements). I prefer to listen to my music as I also don’t have the time to concern myself with what could make my audio system s...

@rcaguy +1 I agree with you.  There is a lack of accurate test measurements by manufacturers.  There is an overabundance of purple prose.   Specs are often meaningless (when I see -10db bass frequency, I assume there is something suspect about the...

@holmz  I agree.  The $15K cartridge sounded great in a $1+ million system (Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement on a Kronos top turntable). Using my LPs, it couldn’t sound more realistic and involving. Maybe it would have sounded great on my other old...

@prof  So, you are a firm believer that all digital cable, if correctly made, sounds the same.  So what I say is snake oil.  That's where I am 100% certain you are mistaken.  I stated you can believe what you want but don't imply that I am wrong b...

@kota1  Right! Where are his in room test measurements?  Did he post them on his site?  Or does he think that just by choosing the best measuring equipment (and any old major brand professional cable) that his room sound measures perfectly (or any...

@prof   but refuse to accept the validity of blind testing components for what you can *really* hear or not).  I do NOT refuse to accept the validity of blind testing equipment, cables or tweaks.  However, I am unable to do blind testing.  So, I r...

@holmz  Again, you have not read my postings.  I am very concerned with test measurements to begin/began my search for equipment.  My speakers are very low distortion, especially at low frequencies and are relatively neutral without major humps or...

@kota I know. I only upgraded my analog with a new SUT to suit my former cartridge in 17 years. I now use a 1/3 less costly cartridge which sounds great with most of my collection. I have the same amps/pre-amp/phono pre for 20-22 years. It was onl...

@kota1 +1 You are so correct.  Some audiophiles feel that the listening room is 50% of the sound.  I know from my experience, that getting the room acoustics right is fundamental to maximize the quality of the sound.  As you can read/see from my l...

My hearing is fine. It was tested twice in the past two years. My upper limit is 16 Khz, the tester said at normal amplitude which I do not know. I have exceptional hearing for my age as does my 88 year old mother. I must have great hearing and re...

My comments: @chmaiwald Great!  Food comparison.  McDonald's burgers measure better than any other fast food burger for consistency.   Despite that, I only eat Angus ground sirloin burgers at Le Petit French restaurant because they taste better to...

From a newer Forum by @erik_squires   Pleasurably better, not measurably better I have created a new phrase: pleasurably better. I am giving it to the world. Too many technophiles are concerned with measurably better, but rarely talk abou...

@prof I am not an "expert" but it only takes a layman to hear SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES.  Are you deaf (or rather taste depleted that you can't tell salt from sugar)?  I have many friends, some who are experts in sound who do this for a living and v... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@prof You are such an expert in your opinion denying the plausibility that I hear great differences and can make an informed opinion of my own.  I've heard/tried the green pen, I've heard magic stones and bells and surface treatments.  I could tel...

@prof People who believe in the results of everything from homeopathy, to new age healing crystals, to...name your unscientific belief...give anecdotes just like yours for their beliefs. Everything from green pens on CDs, little brass bowls pla...
