A second funny point. AG members fault Amir for not listening to products. Now you have to admit he DOES listen to products. Just the results, taking psychoacoustics into account, are not the way AG likes it. Ooops. LOL!
Amir of ASR admitted 1 cable sounded better than the other. NOT CLICKBAIT
There is a recent thread inquiring about the Puritan PSM156, and someone lead to another product the Niagara 1200. Long story short. I come across a review of Amir admitting the "Generic" cable sound better than the Audioquest chain.
If 1 cable can sound better than another, and Amir has admitted to it. Is there really anything left to discuss except that we have been right all along?
Proof: Go to the "Listening Test" of the review.

Sure. Now I want to go viral. So, here goes: I tried the banana test with my cables – running a wire through a banana as a conductor – and I noticed that unripe bananas sounded leaner with tauter bass, while ripe bananas sounded musical, organic, and fuller in the mid-bass region. The problem is that bananas ripen, and the portable fridge I have the banana in adds noise to the system. Sigh. |
"The power of suggestion". What Amir is saying is that all humans are flawed. Including him. Without doing a proper blind test anyone one can be fooled.into thinking they can hear a difference. Influences like price, appearance or even a suggestion from a trusted friend or source. Once a person is convinced they hear a difference they put up a defensive wall. Especially after they spent a lot of money on a cable. No one wants to be made a fool of. Measurements taken are not enough proof for them. Certainly there is something lacking in the data because they use their ears to hear the difference.The thing they fear the most is a blind test. I stopped doing blind taste tests for wine. People got downright angry when they picked the cheap wine over their expensive one. They accused me of altering the labels to make them look foolish. They were absolutely positive they were right in their thinking and would not accept the facts proven to them. Humans. |
No that's dumb logic the point is you charge 10 grand for something it should be better than something else the fact that it's not means it's crap The point isn't that there's a difference the point is that one is not worth spending the money on duh Obviously they're implying if you spend that much on a cable it's going to be better than something not worse the fact that there's some minor detectable difference I don't know how minor doesn't matter it's not worth the money It's a rip-off it's a scam you're just trying to get cute with semantics and sorry it doesn't work to any thinking person |
Your reasoning is flawed... If all human are flawed, non trained ears versus trained ears are flawed too...An acoustician ears/brain is not an Amir ears/brain... But there is a specific point almost everyone miss : We are trained as audiophile on a specific acoustic context : a room which is our own and a system parameters which is uniquely our own with our own psycho-acoustics biases... Double blind test can "debunk" specific aspect when they are taken out of their natural specific psycho-acoustics and acoustics context... Then what ? Simple blind test as any audiophile do experimenting is enough...no need for a circus to know that hearing is subjective also... Amir sell and market his site, not "science" ... Or is he another famous case of the : "science" it is me ? Milind Kunchur debunked Amir once for all . It is easy to read simple article of Kunchur on acoustics and Amir flaws... go to his site... |
