the last time I checked, which was a while ago now, the best system Amirm had heard was tube powered horns at an audio show, while he himself runs 1,000 watts of silicon into boxes...... should we feel for people who first listen to a system with test equipment in order to know if their ears are going to like it....... ;-)
@junkyoutube9060 ultimately something has to sound good. I do appreciate the thorough measurements. I have specced MOTU interfaces for years on shows I have designed, but his measurements of the MOTU M4 were actually helpful. Just found the vibe on the discussion groups stunningly pretentious.
Your attitude towards audiosciencereview is a bit like offering your body to science, so for them to cut you to pieces was largely to be expected, wasn't it? 😉Otherwise, yes, I completely agree with your philosophy on sharing experience. In this hobby, you have to remain pragmatic and trust your ears more than the measuring devices, my microphone certainly hears better than I do, only it doesn't understand what it hears, it can't distinguish between quantity and quality, taking the listener out of the equation means forgetting who should benefit from the end result.
Well to be fair the forum is called audio SCIENCE review. So I guess they would be into geeky things like testing and data. There are far more subjective listening ie audiophile forums that cater to the other side.
The humorous part is I really enjoy extremely detailed, scientific reviews. I do not enjoy rude, pompous pseudo scientists that actually don't know sh#t from dates, blurting out rude comments right out of the gate.
Well done sir. ❤
Just hang out with us and it’s a free space to roll it all around without judgment. ❤
@abxaudiophiles indeed my friend, indeed. Your Discord channel is very entertaining and thanks for the invite!😁

@Pierre-Leloup very well said. I naively thought I might find kindred spirits. Instead, I found vengeful sprites, hahahaha.

Yeah that’s the anonymity of the internet.
