| 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... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @richardbrand Are you telling me silver and copper sound the same? They have different electrical properties, different capacitance and inductance, so the question is, do you think they both sound the same? Also pure copper is far from an "excell... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. A brain exercise for those who think all cables sound the same because ASR measured them to be the same: The terminal connector of a cable cannot be pure copper, because copper cannot hold a shape well enough. It's usually a mix different metals ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @decooney "It only matters to those who can hear a difference. " This is actually quite profound. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @oberoniaomnia Regarding cables, all you need to know is the capacitance, the inductance, the purity, and the quality of the terminal connectors, and the method in which the wire is meld with the connector. You think these things, on an individual... |
