Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy


"Audiophiles are Snobs"  Youtube features an idiot!  He states, with no equivocation,  that $5,000 and $10,000 speakers sound equally good and a $500 and $5,000 integrated amp sound equally good.  He is either deaf or a liar or both! 

There is a site filled with posters like him called Audio Science Review.  If a reasonable person posts, they immediately tear him down, using selected words and/or sentences from the reasonable poster as100% proof that the audiophile is dumb and stupid with his money. They also occasionally state that the high end audio equipment/cable/tweak sellers are criminals who commit fraud on the public.  They often state that if something scientifically measures better, then it sounds better.   They give no credence to unmeasurable sound factors like PRAT and Ambiance.   Some of the posters music choices range from rap to hip hop and anything pop oriented created in the past from 1995.  

Have any of audiogon (or any other reasonable audio forum site) posters encountered this horrible group of miscreants?

Ah, here we are. You're cousins!

This is a direct quote from jerryg123 commenting on a thread started by earlflynn about the Quality x200, which coincidentally both own.

 

"I was talking to the guy who wrote this review this morning. He is my cousin and lives down in Texas and he also owns a X200 and had a similar issue."

Not at all.

I find it an amusing distraction that you guys have to, after being banned, ’lay low’ for a bit, then join again announcing you’re the ’new guy’ with a new name and behaving for a while.

But inevitably, that personality that got you banned in the first place starts cracking that facade, and out leaks those same childish, abrasive, insulting posts in the exact same writing style that got you banned in the first place. Please do carry on, can’t wait wait to see what you two write next! Actually, never mind. Please don't derail the thread.

@noske ,

You don’t know?

Juanmanuelfangioli is the former earlflynn.

You know, the guy who was banned for all his childish taunting and vulgarity...

We should all expand our horizons and got out for Taro ice cream. My local Walmart of all places has it.

I shall look for it tomorrow! Talking about the mochi or the standard fare?

That settles it. We’re going out for Australian Ice Cream!

Pine-Lime Splice for me...
