| Does measurements really matter? I am a trained scientist and worked as a electro / mechanical design engineer. Excellent! A real basic principle of high audio… glance at the specs…. Then listen, listen, listen. As a trained scientist you would be acutely aware of th... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing It was completely predictable that PS Audio's damage control video would miss the point. These companies always make claims that attaching your gear to their product "dramatically improves the SOUND of X, Y and Z in your system." But they never ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing emailists, It appears you have not gone through that second review. Amirm DID originally do tests on the other Zone A outputs, but only used the last outputs for the amp on the very rational inference that since they were labelled "high curre... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing A blind listening test is not a test for bias. It shows that listening under those conditions is mostly more difficult, but it does not explain WHY it is more difficult. I’m unclear on what you are saying. On your account: What about "listening... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing No problem, invalid. It's just that I couldn't go back and fix the typo in the original. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing What people like @Prof are ignoring is that according to PS Audio, the fake science site (my term) measured the wrong AC output. Has anyone seen them publish a revision or retraction? I’m not ignoring anything: it seems you who is leaping to u... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing invalid, my subsequent post mentioned it was a typo. See the correction. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing mahgister, Thanks for alerting me to a typo. I meant to write: "I've been a member of the AVSforum forum for 20 years..." (Not ASR). | |
| Amir and Blind Testing agisthos, Amir is the high priest of the ASR cult. ^^^ Not a very promising start. Years ago, they were militantly claiming that changes to the power supply of dvd/blu-ray players could not possibly have any effect on the video output, be... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Amirm is doing a terrific service to the audiophile community. You don't have to bow to him as a "cult leader" (ridiculous meme going around) or believe everything he says is beyond critique. His reviews are quite well vetted even on the ASR... | |
| Russian tube supply issues skyscraper, No worries. I understand your position. My post was more directed at those I quoted. Cheers. | |
| Russian tube supply issues Uh, a maniac is murdering humans and your biggest issue is, "can I get tubes for my billion dollar stereo?" You did it. I am speechless. Exactly, that’s the strawman that keeps getting thrown around. I’m also wondering if we have enough past... | |
| Russian tube supply issues So much silliness! Folks have all this concern over tubes from Russia and how their availability impacts this or that, rather than the innocent people in harms way who are the real victims. And: Wow such ugly Americans, worried about Tubes. ... | |
| Russian tube supply issues Prof, if you purchase Russian tubes and they are restocked via China, as mentioned in a post above, you should consider if you might be supporting the Russian economy by doing so. No, the Russian tubes simply won't be getting to our shores a... | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. I see this phrase "panic buying" thrown around a lot, as if to suggest that there is something irrational - e.g. like cleaning out Costco of toilet paper - about people purchasing tubes. I've seen tons of conversations on this on various forums a... |
