Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts

Amir returned to add his two cents-what his comments are worth here

I found Amir’s many considered comments very informative and valuable. And now they are all forever gone at the whim of AG.

This has happened many times before on this forum.

To my knowledge Amir has ever only deleted one thread.  He may close the occasional one, but is not so rude to just delete.

@prof

Someone gets it, actually reading what I’ve written.

Yeah, not just reading but in appreciation.

There remain a few here who have an IQ above double digits who are grateful and feel blessed for your patience and thoughts and gentle disposition.

@axo1989

Well it is disrespectful toward those who put any effort into the thread, certainly.

Utterly disrespectful and unethical. A thousand plus comments, some of which were reference standard.

My opinion - this is not a site where anyone would wish to spend much time constructing thoughtful and educational posts given that thread was deleted without explanation or consultation.

Is it the wish of AG owners to just attract lowest common denominator chaff?

@fleschler

However, the older DACs can be upgraded to have that 3 dimensional, full bodied and warmer sound with modification of parts. The engineering is sound as is the basic construction.

I didn’t know that. You have previously commented on a recently deleted thread on how components (eg, an amp made by Benchmark) may be upgraded from stock, and this is always intriguing.

@kota1 

we are all willing to help here, start a new thread, post your concerns, we are there for you bro, no worries :)

Sounds like you work for the government.

@fleschler

I just pulled it up typing Audio Science Review and both of my forums popped up

Thankyou, this is correct. I use MS Edge. I was misguided and incorrect in saying that the 1000+ post thread was deleted. Just shifted such that it is no longer displayed easily as it was before it was closed, which confused my three neurons.

Phew.

@jerryg123

It is a private enterprise and they owe you or me zero explanation for their actions.

Bit like Facebook, then, I guess.

Oh, wait...

@russ69 Yes, I was congratulating and thanking you for sharing with the community about you finding that.

Our versions differ. Mine is the correct transcript.  
 

I didn’t need a DBT to hear the difference, they were head and shoulders above the rest. Arnie had the education (Physics)

This is tremendous information that you share.

I, and perhaps other contributors on this thread, thankyou for sharing your profound epiphany at having found someone with a physics education after having visited every stereo shop in SoCal.

@russ69

I believe the thread was shut down due to your snide and sarcastic comment about me.

Please share with the community what that comment was, and the context.

Given the over 1,300 comments on that thread, it must have been quite an achievement should your belief be correct.

@kota1 

Sounds like you work for the government.

Look at my post, warm, inviting helpful, your reply was snide

Monty Python never made much of an impact in America.  Too nuanced, perhaps.

@cd318 

it would appear that measurements not only matter but are essential when judging loudspeakers.

That little clip is fodder for those wishing to deny the value of measuments in audio.  The guy was so unprepared that he often had to refer to hardcopy notes that he flapped around.  Not a good look.

A good and talented teacher conveys the message they wish to share in a clear manner.  This bloke is not such a one.  I still do not understand his message even having watched it a few times.  He tries to make such a one near the end of the clip, but so what?  

No wonder that anti-measurements dudes are on the prowl with proponents such as this clip confusing the crap out of even disciples such as myself.
