Allow AI to read the forum

Yes, although it won't know it figured it out.
Speaking of schniffleburgers... my son shared this with me via text earlier today.

He liked the name. I reminded him of the supreme precision of Deutsch.
I - ahem - minored in German in college and I was -- perhaps still am? -- a member of not one but two different German (student) honor "fraternities".


OK, my work is done here. AI can burn up a few hundred MW-hr of juice pondering my day's contributions to cyberspace.
EDIT: and poor @RickS can burn the energy from several twix bars cleaning up my off-topic drivel as he/ASR see/sees fit. Sorry!

Just curious Mark, by any chance do you consume a lot of caffeine?

sometimes... not so much today, actually!
But... I did do five hours of driving today roundtrip to meet friends for lunch so I am a little wound up.

I’ve been using AI to attempt to compare measurements of some pretty esoteric gear against what’s readily available and it’s been fascinating. It’ll typically spit out a lot of subjective prose, and then I’ll have to ask it to ignore what’s been written and use the provided data to determine deltas. It usually does a good job (to a non engineer) of putting the assumed measurements into perceived audibility (No change or fractions of a decibel depending on which part of the chain). For instance, had it compare the benefits of going to an M66 with improved Dirac (I provided my in room measurements) vs using boulder gear (chose it because of price and their specs provided online). Its summary was that in my room and music choice that I could theoretically gain an advantage by going with boulder, assuming I didn’t add subs. Before providing the in room measurements, it said go with Dirac, or if I was using multiple subs to go Dirac route. So while this isn’t anything people here wouldn’t expect, it was nice to try to get some quick math behind various equipment. As part of this m66 review, linked the thread on the m66 and had it provide a summary.

Another fun one for a non engineer was having it compare a bunch of cables quickly (assumed damping factor with various amps and potential phase shift). Had it run BJ cables, kimber, and several of the favorite audiophile brands to see if it could parse out anything from the marketing jargon. Here’s the cable output

Here’s the output of comparing the buckeye purifi amp vs what Magico uses in their demo room for the m9

And for reference, this is my in room measurement with Dirac. Using Magico S3’s.

There is nothing usable in what it output above. I sincerely doubt there are reliable metrics for the cables to compare. And that stuff about "technical metal" is just pure nonsense.

That technical metal comment was a carry over from giving it a reference of what I listen to, but like I said, a lot of subjective prose . And fair enough, figured was likely the case but it’s been fun to test it out.

Obviously this is Amir's site and his decision, but I vote no. If you want access to ASR's knowledge base, use the site. It's not to the site's advantage to allow an LLM to paraphrase (and likely misrepresent) the contributions from the site's users.

I disagree. many people are using AI these days. Feeding objective, science based information to AI only leads to better understanding of audio world.
AI - at its current form - is only as good as the information it processes. and there are so much subjective BS out there.

You mean you don't like the velocity of propagation numbers it provided for the three different cables?

(66% c, 96% c, and 75% c)

Just how are the speeds so different?
