@clarinetmonster2... ASR is basically all about measurements. That is their thing. I am soon going to be testing based on sound, some of their best measuring amps ever. We will see,
3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive???
The more I investigate gear the more it seems that it’s easy to get organic involving sound with flesh and body and a 3D immersive soundstage with the right matching of components but it also seems like it necessitates choosing some components that don’t measure well/add colorations/even order harmonics etc My question is are there components (specifically amps/preamps and integrateds) are out there that combine great measurements and in your mind also have that organic immersive sound that really helps many of us get more emotionally involved in the music or are these qualities mutually exclusive?
