I Am Tired of Bogus Measurements


My expensive shoes have measurements but it doesn’t matter, all I want to know is will they fit. My expensive new suit has measurements but it doesn’t matter, all I want to know is will my expensive new shoes match.

The people being misled by measruements aren’t being led my manufacturers, they are being misled by reviewers. Idiotic rankings of digital gear based on measurements outside the range of human hearing. Cancelling entire brands who put out features customers actually want as they sell to humans, not bats. The worst of these websites will rant about their own superior $$$ equipment but mot even one person will ever use speakers in a klippel matchine, they actually put them in a room! The horror. The cancelling of brands, the talking down to the customers, is bogus.

You need to measure what matters! Are the customers actually happy? Is the warranty honored? Most importantly is their an in home audition period?
I don’t need someone to tell me if I could or should like a product. My room is not a test bench, or a klippel machine. Who cares what the component measures by itself because unless its a clock radio I’ll never use it by itself, I have to interconnect it in a "system" with "high quality" cables, (as in all cables are not the same).

If you want to measure something measure how your personal system of curated components interact with your room. That’s it. The rest of the stuff you could forget because these days if a brand overpromises and under delivers they will be following a formula for losing money, an no company likes that.

I understand specs can be useful and their are confusing specs when rating receivers (all channels driven or not). Beyond that 1 in home audition is what answers every other question a customer might have re: value. 

Do not underestimate the influence of the prominent YouTubers like Jake Paul, Amir M., or PewDiePie. You won’t believe the number of people who purchase solely on what these influencers say

The more information you give the consumer, the better your chance of making a sale.

I disagree. In the vast majority of cases, the less information the better. More information leads to paralysis by analysis and the customer freezing. Keep it simple: A point system of measurements and price. That’s all it takes to sell. And the master Amir knows that. He has figured it out.
