The audiophile community is seeking an executive officer to start up and lead the Audio Listening Review forum. The mission of the forum is to counter the spread of misinformation by certain actors who believe the sound of hifi equipment can be assessed via measurements and listening is futile.
The executive officer shall coordinate and publish the results of structured listening tests. We believe this approach to be more constructive than heading into heated discussions on forums of echo chamber communities without the support of relevant evidence.
To assure the outcome of listening test are reliable and repeatable by others the candidate will implement a testing protocol in analogy with principles applied in other physics and technology areas. He'll assure the tests are rigorously and rationally solid documented.
The candidate will have access to a virtual unlimited budget, provided by hundreds of companies producing HiFi components and accessories. As these companies can benefit tremendously from the research the candidate will assure the founding doesn't directly influence the test results.
The ideal candidate is someone who can guide and inspire voluntary teams of testers. Technical knowledge is less important as the setup of listening tests usually requires no more than a level matching switch box or null test software. Altough the startup of this initiative will be pretty intense, it won't take more than a few successful listening tests to redefine the future of audio!
This job will give you the opportunity to meet great people having fun at what they love best, listening. You have the chance to make a real difference and contribute to society by restoring the balance in audiophile believes.
