Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Great, do give us those impressions disc! Again, good to hear things went smoothly communicating with Jeff Joseph. I also had good communication with Jeff in the past. But for some reason it’s been a struggle since mid summer. Mid-summer, I’d as... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@disc   That’s great to hear! I’m glad my musings were of some help in your search. I look forward to any impressions you want to share about the Perspectives Graphene.   Also, it's good to hear that Jeff Joseph is still interacting with cus... 
Ultrasonic record cleaners
  I'm another Degritter user.  I wanted my records to be clean, but hate cleaning records.  Some people turn it in to a second hobby, but I didn't want that. I was willing to pay for the combination of great cleaning and as easy a process as poss... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Much of this falls under what the late scientist Steven Jay Gould called “argument from personal incredulity.” That means a person simple cannot accept the truth of something because it is so far outside their personal experience or prejudices th... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
I can share freely here, on What’s Best Forum, Audiocircle, etc. without qualifying every subjective statement I’ve made. I think that’s the point of not liking ASR.   Yes I absolutely see the value in that.

Agreed!

Or, you can just ignore those posts. One should not ask people to only post selectively about their subjective findings only on stuff that you believe have merit. They should feel free to post about anything. Then, we, the readers, can sort throu...

thyname, if you are trying to catch me in self-contradiction, you haven’t really understood what I’ve been writing. Here it is again: There is "noise" in our perceptual system - forms of bias that influence our perception, which can also lead us...

thyname, I take it from the smilies your post is parody.   For information purposes only" It would be rejected by these same folks as "non-informative." It got to the point I had to add this on to my signature on ASR: Of course...it could a...

Well cd318, you've just proven either your system or your ears aren't "resolving" enough. ;-)      
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  What timing.  Sure enough, after writing the above, I'm going through just this same debate on ASR once again, where someone there has declared subjective impressions as meaningless and useless.    
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
Beyond that, the JA is more detailed which in my system led to listening fatigue over time. I've found JA speakers paired with tube amps to be wonderful.  My Perspectives paired with my CJ amps are super resolving, but smooth and easy to listen...

@axo1989 That is amusing actually, I wonder why that is ... 🤔 I think it’s understandable to a degree. For one thing, doing blind tests can be a hassle, sometimes totally impractical (speakers especially). And generally speaking I think the m...

  They suffer minor abuse by other members for their "subjective" views, not using blind testing or measurements to determine their preferences.    The ironic thing  is I'm one of the very, very few ASR members who has actually posted detaile... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@cd318 Thanks! I’ve realized no forum will be everything to everyone. I get what I can from ASR and don’t expect it will satisfy all my needs. Same for AGon (and the other forums I visit). There are inflexible thinkers in all forums. Fortunate...
