Some curous stuff has passed 'peer review' at AES.
Wasn't that AES paper highly criticized?
If ringing in the hypothesis, why not prove it? Finding ringing must be trivial, right? It should show up in a simple spectrum analysis of the diff, or even looking at the the waveforms compared to the original. Some food for thought:

Let me answer my own question: because the answer is in the way of pushing nonsense technology like MQA...
But again, this is similar to what Amir did passing the high-res vs redbook ABX test. I would say, passing a blind test is passing a blind test, the person who did it is able to hear a difference. How much that matters is, of course, a totally different story. In the both cases at hand, not very much, if at all, as the master quality is much more important than the sample rate or bit depth and the sound of various DAC filters are diffferent only ever so slightly, if at all. But as a proof of principle, there are audible differences.
A lot of reviewers don't even check the methods, numerics or whatever, or let papers from befriended groups pass on any grounds. Peer review is like democracy, not very good, but the least bad system available. It does not guarantee correct results, but is a first filter to set it apart from a random opinion of some guy in the internet. Many papers that originally have passed peer review and were published in the most respected journals like Nature, Science or Physical Review Letters were later retracted. So taken the fact that something has passed peer review as equivalent to that it must be true is a grave fallacy.
Of course it’s paid work.To be clear, paid work and paid sponsorship on his own channel... hence this glowing article;

Exactly. Tedious stuff. Nobody is going to put a serious amount of work into creating YouTube content for no monetary reward.
Would you say this about Amir's ASR channel for example, i.e. the purpose of it is to make money? From my understanding the purpose is to provide information and educate people.
I’m sure amir does make money from his YouTube content, since it does get a significant number of views.Would you say this about Amir's ASR channel for example, i.e. the purpose of it is to make money? From my understanding the purpose is to provide information and educate people.
So Cameron is there to make money off this... always seems to be seeking that next "viral" video.
You've not been here for long, so I assume you missed the part years back where Cameron threatened Amir with a false tax matter, amongst ridiculous other accusations of impropriety. It's ironic he now seeks the cashola and sponsors.

Better you than me.
To be fair, the last video was 4 months ago. That's not a good basis if you want to make serious money of off it. So, I don't think @amirm has the ambition to become a YouTube influencer, and we all know he doesn't do it for the moneyWould you say this about Amir's ASR channel for example, i.e. the purpose of it is to make money?

People do what they do for 1 million different reasons. Making money off of it immediately is not the only reason. People who do not have a lot of money overestimate its value for those who have it.
Well yes. Clearly GS really enjoys headphones, the technical side of audio, listening to music, learning, and discussing the whole subject. He’s also quite articulate with good presentation skills and that helps immensely in communicating with your audience.
