Was all this copied and pasted from this forum from about a year ago? Asking for a friend. ;-)
And heck yeah, a $200 SMSL DAC measures better than a $10K Tambaqui DAC. If anyone with a Mola Mola Tambaqui wants to swap, just let me know. I’ll even pay shipping.
Is ASR for real, or is it only for those sub $1k or even sub $2K?
I did some browsing on the forum and it seems like most don't own very expensive gears. Most of them own mostly sub 1K or 2K gears.
I recently ask about feedback on the Polk R700 but after about a month with no responds. I did a search "ASR Polk R700", with all but one poster which actually owned a pair. Most of them would point you to some measurement and some theoretical discussion but non actually own a pair.
I also looked at a few posts on budget speakers such as the Kef Q7 or Polk R600, but I didn't see any actual owners responding.
I don't mean to knock on them but ASR seems like a lot of hype but very little substance.

Abso-freaking-lutely Amen to your comment, "I stopped buying gear based on specs in 1983." Same here, but around 1986.
I'm glad I'm not a "Rev-Head" (buy only based on reviewers opinions, especially YouTubers that are getting compensated in some manner) or a "Spec-Head" (buy only based on technical measurements). I buy and use gear that sounds good to my ears and my ears only. That's the only person I need to impress or please. Since I still own 99% of the gear I've purchased since 1978, I have a vast assortment of audio equipment to play around with -- and it's soon to grow after acquiring high-end 1980's gear from a late relative.
Enjoy the music, not the controversy. |
