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 ...

  @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...

@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 ...

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...

@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...

  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...

@prof Wow... I’m learning so much from you. Are you on ratemyprofessors.com by a chace? Would like to leave you a review... lol if that’s strawman, your arguments are scarecrow   If I were a professor and you were in my class, you'd get...

ASR again? I wonder if many treads including this one were created purposely here by the ASR members. No value but to stir up the crowd for their entertainment.   I think it's worth taking a step back and asking: why is anyone triggered by the...

So then, if we are not infallible, is the instrumentation and controlling for biases in listening tests infallible? Nope.   That's a strawman.  It's not simply that our ears are infallible - it's the specific ways our perception is fallible. I...

Exactly. Also, many amplifiers that don’t measure well can sound great. My two sets of amplifiers don’t measure well, and sound great.   Same here. My CJ tube amps don’t measure great but I defend their use on ASR quite often. Like I said, a...

That's great Amir likes your preamp,  but there is a lot of crap they love over on that site so to use it as a barometer for what sounds excellent is silly.    Nobdy has to uncritically swallow everything at ASR.  Like any other forum you have...

prof, Just think of all the money you have saved. ozzy Exactly. Paying attention to objective investigations of various type of gear has been very useful, as have my own occasional blind tests, in saving me money and angst sometimes.   A...

"I don’t care for ASR" is of course a perfectly valid opinion. "Their videos have no value" ...is just being silly.  
AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend.........
They aren't saving you money if you buy something based on specs and it sounds poor in your system.   I'm not aware of a single person on ASR who has reported such a problem.   @prof good luck with that.  Don't say I didn't warn you.   ...

their videos have no value. enertainment only   Their videos are more informative than just about anything you'd find here (and I like this place).   ASR videos have educated many people and have doubtless saved plenty of audiophiles wasting m...
