| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Mr. Hooper/Prof and Martin are the most interesting members of ASR I've read. I've only skimmed the surface of topics (perhaps two dozen) because so many do not interest me as in very low priced new gear (I'm quite happy with my system). I defin... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @amir_asr You are such a know it all. Such a foolish person. I don't why I answer except you are on Audiogon lecturing us. My neighbor and friend was ashamed of his system when I lent him ONE power cable for his amp. He had the habit of cha... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @russ69 It could have been the increasingly difficult remarks or my request to remove trolls like Amir and or crymeanaudioriver (my opinion, maybe not yours).. The moderator has been very responsive to me. I will ask to have the site relisted i... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @coralkong Really? Or course! That's why I tell non-audiophiles not to purchase expensive cables or tweaks because they won't hear a difference if the rest of their system is below mid-fi. The reverse is true as well. Imagine, my neighbor's... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @axo1989 I don’t know, I just pulled it up typing Audio Science Review and both of my forums popped up, I chose one and it opened. I also did a Chrome Google search and typed Audio Science Review Audiogon. Again, it opened up. I wouldn’t say it’... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @mitch2 When I look(ed) for components, the specs (hopefully honestly) told me data I could use to assemble synergy. After having owned inefficient speakers and 20 years of electrostats, i decided I preferred conventional multi-driver dynamic spe... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @noske No, that was the Benchmark DAC HDR-1. I have never heard their amps although two of my friends had borrowed them and they felt a lack of attachment despite the clean, clear, dynamic sound. I do not know which models. The thread/forum is no... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @axo1989 I've been collecting/listening to LPs for 60 years. Digital playback has evolved to be tremendously captivating, often equal to the best vinyl. Unless there are some performances/music that you find you can only obtain on vinyl (about ... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts I own two other DACs purchased when I switched from the EAR Acute (2005), the COS Engineering D1v ($9000) and D2v ($5000) retail. They are gorgeous units which even my cable/equipment manufacturing friend says are also exceptionally built. However... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @kota1 You’ve done a very impressive job correcting your room sound from the speakers alone (quite bumpy). Looks really flat after correction. Back in the mid-1980s, I was fortunate to hear Conrad Johnson’s top pre-amp (don’t remember the name), ... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @prof I wrote the prior response while you were posting your admission. Martin and you contribute better posts on ASR than the vast majority. You don't go off topic and start to talk about pizza toppings, wine, sport cars, soft drinks etc. Why... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @djones51 My mistake, you are correct. It is Martin who owns and extols the virtues of Von Schweikert speakers. While searching for the answer at ASR, I came upon numerous Mr. Hooper postings concerning his preference for listening to vinyl and... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @sngreen The former forum was closed by the moderator. It got rather snarky at the end and discussion was getting off topic (especially after Amir returned to add his two cents-what his comments are worth here). @djones51 No, Prof is not Matt Ho... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Art Dudley-I miss him too. (I followed his reviews since the 1990s) There are so many roads to reproducing music. His reviews were generally full of feeling for the music, music that I appreciate. I more thing about the Benchmark L4 pre-amp. Fou... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts I read five reviews of the Benchmark L4. Uniformly, the reviewers found the pre amp extraordinary in revealing musical and acoustic detail, without any affectation or distortion, in a finely constructed piece of equipment. Clean and clear was th... |
