| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! I’m not as concerned about reviewer’s rooms as many others here. Yes, of course room acoustics affect speaker performance. It’s not for nothing room EQ is all the rage these days. However...I’m less in to hand-wringing over the photos of re... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @waytoomuchstuff I was still getting a little midrange glare from your syntax, but since I put my desktop monitor on Nordost isolation Kones, that's cleared up. Thank goodness! | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ozzy, Short version: Giving reasons justifying my approach is not an attack on yours, or a demand you should approach the hobby as I do (or anyone at ASR does). You-do-you. Short enough I hope? ;-) | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @waytoomuchstuff Thanks. I find that the blanket dismissal of the value of ASR by some here mirrors the dogmatic blanket dismissal by some on ASR of places like Audiogon. They are mirror images of the same heels-dug-in mindset. I have tr... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... cleeds, I can understand why someone might think that from what I just wrote. But if someone were familiar with lots of my stuff on audiogon as well as on ASR, they would understand why I'm here. I really enjoy discussing the subjective nature ... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... If someone is producing an argument in defense of their belief that doesn't make sense, then it's reasonable to be skeptical. And if they are also using a method known to be fallible in evaluating their own claim, that's double reason to be skept... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... I think it's prof vs. God. I have no problem with that debate either. This isn't the forum, though ;-) God created all these different cables but somehow they all sound the same according to prof. What a waste of resources. Raising stra... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ozzy, Ok. (I've tried 'quality cables,' nordost among them, and there is clearly nothing 'amis' with my system, as other audiophiles who have heard it know). I am no more pushing ASR on you, than you are pushing your view on me. We are exch... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ozzy, If I found the sound of my system to be just as good with the cheap cables, why wouldn't I be happy I didn't need to spend extra money on the expensive ones? And...Why are you ignoring this: prof: As to cables: I always try to be ca... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ozzy, Ok, you still won't explain how my equipment helps explain why I have the view you think I have. This happens literally every time I get the demand "list your system!" If I report being skeptical of cable differences the response from at ... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @ozzy Why are you avoiding the question? You are now referencing my previous comments, but not my equipment list. My question concerned what you wrote. You asked me to list my equipment. When asks why, you told me that my equipment list help... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @ozzy Well, since I went to the trouble of listing my equipment at your request: Can you explain how my equipment list "helped you understand" that? (And your conclusion is, unfortunately, a misrepresentation anyway of my view. Look again at ... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ozzy, Is that the usual "let’s see if you have a resolving enough system" request ?:-) Speakers: Thiel 2.7 Joseph Audio Perspective Graphene 2 (Other speakers I’ve used include MBL Radialstrahler, a variety of Audio Physic speakers, Von Schwe... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @whipsaw Much appreciated. Unfortunately this is a type of discussion, like abortion, religion, politics, where many have dug their heals in and are easily triggered by an opposing view. The reaction is to get emotional and defensive and ad ho... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... Hi fsonicsmith1, Just so you don’t get an incorrect impression: While I definitely side with ASR that, strictly speaking, the most reliable method of evaluating gear would include measurements and if possible blind testing, in the real world t... |
