I’m considering doing a video on ASR and what people take from it. Can someone help me , have I got it right you use measurements to inform your subjective opinions, on listening, not use the measurements to say what’s good or not.
I get lots of comments to my YouTube channel 13th note hifi reviews saying that a particular dac I have reviewed is really poor based on ASR but I think it’s subjectively and comparatively very good. I don’t prop up bad products to anyone who knows me (eg Auralic Aries g1) but appreciate most hifi gear is competitive at price, by the same token. I also understand there are subjective (listening based) consensus groups around what people like in hifi, which is the right way to do it on experiences.
This fills me with dread because putting off people buying or trialing based on what might be using measurements solely, isn’t right.
Im not making this post to put down your site because I know a measurement approach can get lots of benefit for people eg amp power, slew rate, damping factor and so on. And this is why ASR is popular. But it should inform your listening not the other way around. Is this very much for the view of people who participate here, Am I right Or misunderstanding something. As I say I’m not trying to put down but understand.
