Audiophile StyleWhat *IS* A.S. ?
Could be either from the comment that elicited this series of posts.Thought he meant audioshark
Yeah. First, not going near anything that mentions "audiophile".
I don't know what "audioshark" is, but the name alone doesn't create gigantic interest.

Computer Audiophile Style is dead. In case you missed it, I was recently banned from the site along with anyone else who didn't applaud the establishment of an "objectivist" ghetto where any unwanted criticism of snake oil could be quarantined to protect the believers' fragile egos. Thinking back, it's pretty clear that the site has drifted ever closer to pure subjectivism in step with the increasing value of Chris' audio gear. It must be close to a million dollars in MSRP by now, though I doubt he paid anywhere close to that amount. He's in the "big boys" club now. He deserves no gratitude.Thanks @PierreV I really appreciate that! Here is a list of reviews/articles I wrote. I joined "Computer Audiophile" in 2011 as it seemed to be the only site at the time dedicated to "computer based audio."
Part of it was education for me as folks were making claims on how bitperfect could sound different, etc., so I started experimenting with null or difference testing and trying to correlate what I heard with what I measured. It came pretty quickly that with no measured difference, I could not hear a difference I repeated this experiment with a few variations, including varying away from bitperfect by adding artefacts to see how far away from bitperfect I needed to get to actually hear a difference in an ABX test. It was an ear opening experience as by about 12 or 13 bits resolution, I could not hear a difference.
Anyway, I am grateful for Chris for allowing me the opportunity to experiment and write articles, along with a number of speaker reviews and getting heavily in DRC/DSP. But other than my articles and some from @mansr and @Archimago on MQA, there are very few with any objective measurements.
Do websites like audio stream censor their comments ?.
Before he accepted advertising it was really an interesting and informative site, once you place revenue stream above everything else...Computer Audiophile Style is dead.

I object to your pro-teleost bias!
SoundOnSound, the British pro review magazine, has my trust. When you earn a living from audio you don't have time or money to try and hear things that do not exist like audible differences in speaker cables, let alone network cables!
