Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@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...

@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...

@dustyb13 That’s is the opposite to @prof posted on the rebuttal site. He is arguing with other ASR members that listening isn’t meaningless despite measurement results. He is using/preferring an inferior measuring CJ pre-amp instead of a very sup...

I have added my main listening room components and front and back walls of that room. I have a small amount of reverb, corner echo which the center cloth absorber eliminated. My room isn’t as near perfect like the two @Kota 1 examples show but it’...

As to absolutes on interconnect cable design.  During the past several decades, GroverHuffman cables has removed metal casings and replaced them with high quality plastic casings with excellent contact areas for soldering.  No ferrites ever used. ...

Wow, a lot's been going on since I've been on.  @holmz  Fantastic measurements of the the Kento Carbon speaker which received glowing reviews.  $40K is near my max to spend on speakers.  I've got to hear them.  Thanks!  
Room correction room system vs ears….
@thomastrouble  A $10,000 system can sound fantastic too! Here is my friend's system that I thoroughly enjoy: VPI SuperScout TT w/Dynavector 20X2 H McIntosh C20 version 2 pre-amp RAM RM-9 amp Kyocera X310 CD player (new caps) Von Schweikert ... 
Room correction room system vs ears….
Same thing happened to me with absorption panels on front and rear walls-dead sound, lost dynamics and all interest in the music.  Acoustic Fields sold me 8 large panels which even a pair on either front or rear walls killed the sound.  I prefer t...

I have to repost this from Pleasurably better, not measurably better forum as it's a hoot.  @chmaiwald wrote:  This chase for neutrality (or accuracy or however you want to call it) makes me wonder. Audio setups with a strong sonic signature asid...
