| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @laoman His (oberoniaomnia) post just proves ASR measurements make no sense. 99% of R2R Dacs measure terrible vs the Delta-Sigma Topping dacs. For him to even say the Topping and Holo May are more or less equal is just wild. Because the measureme... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Calling ASR a cult and selling snakeoil is out of good conscience, a very accurate description. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @mdalton I sense a bit of disappointment in you in that I only responded to the dac section. I’ll talk about the power conditioner part here. I’ll do you a good one. The Puritan 156. A HIGHLY beloved product among audiophiles. How does Amir measu... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @mdalton I only responded to 1 of your 3 examples because I am very unfamiliar with the other 2. All of the 3 mentioned dacs are exceptionally clean and have exceptional detail retrievals. Which makes no sense because Amir measured the Dave to be... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. This is what Amir had to say at the end of his Tambaqui review, "Since I am not the one paying for it for you to purchase it, it is not my issue to worry about the cost. As such, I am happy to recommend the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC based on its mea... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @laoman Interesting product. Thanks for bringing it up. Bruno is a measurement-first engineer. Anything he makes is guarantee to measure well, but is not a guarantee they will sound good. There is so much discrepancy between how the Tambaqui soun... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Erin showcased a significant problem with himself and with ASR. For those that don't know, Erin is a part of ASR. He's also purely a measurement guy, with a bit of subjective listening in his reviews. Here's what happened. There's a Mcintosh amp ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @oberoniaomnia You mention a point where I just want to bang my head against a refrigerator every time I hear it. Something ASR loves to use as their defense also. This is one of ASR biggest problem. "If it measures the same, it sounds the sam... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @mdalton Providing consistent measurement for DACS, but the data doesn't seem useful. I or you can't look at the data and say this better measured one will sound better. Which is where I question its usefulness. If I can't predict the sound qualit... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @oberoniaomnia You want burden of proof? Ok I will give you burden of proof. Go measure the capacitance and inductance of cables, they can vary greatly. Low inductance has a sound profile. High inductance has a sound profile. Low/high capacita... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @jrareform Well said. I'd like to ask the ASR supporters. 1) What has ASR actually done to propel this industry forward? 2) Name a product(s) that has world class measurement from ASR that also happens to be beloved by the experienced audio ... | |
| Van Alstine Amp Replacement Liquid spark sounds fantastic and has plenty of power for little money. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @richardbrand Ain't no way the binding post will even up your bumps. Even if it did, you still wouldn't want a pure copper spade, the oxygen and humidity will destroy it over time. So this circles us back to the initial point. A good connector wo... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devinplombier "Pure copper makes an excellent spade connector" A pure copper spade will have uneven bumps resulting in poor connection. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMjBUvEHVdc Here’s another video of Erin with even more amplifiers. A traditional Mcintosh with a house-sound and piss-poor measurement, vs a pair of Mono class D with "better" measurements with a focus on pure neu... |
