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?

His channel is irrelevant.  It has little to do with science.  He satisfies the needs of a few followers who want to believe expensive hifi is a sham.  In the same vein as flat earthers and people who don't believe men walked on the moon.

This says a lot about these ASR people.

A pole rating a pair of Vandersteen speakers and none of these people have listened to them. Pure Subjective Opinion based on measurement’s by a _____.

Why bother listening to speakers with such bad measurements? In a world full of good ones. But seems some really did take their time.

According to asr, if two wires measure the same, then they are the same.  If two amplifier’s put out ten watts, then they are the same. And when I saw him
doing an interference test on a power cord that was not plugged in, I shook my head and have never gone back.
