I don't think there is anything anti ASR in liking what you like. Amirm doesn't come across to me as trying to dictate what your tastes should be, or even telling you one particular piece of equipment is necessarily better for your enjoyment of listening to music.
I think Amirm's intention is to educate, and by educating, allow people to make better informed decisions based on repeatable evidence rather than taking the advice of those who say 'I hear this therefor this is so'.
I've got some horrendously inaccurate equipment and I've built some real shockers in the past.
What I don't say is I've got High Fidelity equipment.
My headphone amp is a valve design (WAD 83) which I built and tinkered around with purely based on schematics, accepted theory and subjective testing. I enjoyed the process and I enjoy listening to it.
My loudspeakers are hand built, a few times now,
right down to the crossovers. I love the sound they make and to be fair, in the right environment their performance was at least measurably better than anything I could afford to buy.
My amplifiers are from Exposure and more than twenty years old. I have no idea how they measure. I bought them because the drove the speakers I built rather nicely when I played music through the system imo.
I've just bought the jds atom. It will be the only piece of kit I currently own that I've bought on specifications alone.
