Thank you Amirm for these measures, your thread on ASR also allows to talk about the subjects of objectivism and subjectivism on HCFR which is the biggest French forum. I am French and participate in this forum which is very nice.Along these lines, I am most impressed by our French and French speaking members. I thought for sure some aspect of nationalism would get them to defend the company but the opposite has been true. Both here and on the French forum, people have stuck to facts and cool heads as opposed to defending a native company. It was surprising and a positive thing to discover!
Totaldac is not the representative HiFi of France, nor of the French vision of HiFi.
It is not so much the measures that shock French forumers, but the nature of the answers.
It was simple for Totaldac to say, "I consider that listening and measurements are not correlated, my products only follow a development by intuition, based on listening"
I translate: to design a neutral device is not essential, for me, some collorations bring more pleasure to the listening .... a little like the retouching of the photo of Mont Saint Michel, each these tastes!
We could understand this approach.
In this case, let's not talk anymore about measures, invite people to listen and do not dispute the scientific measures that are made by competent technicians, be it those of ASR or other ...
The approach remains honest and whoever wants to tune the sound of his HiFi chain by burning his money is free to adopt this approach ...
Many in France do not have the technical background and consider that the listening is not correlated with the measure, it is complicated to make it clear that it is the opposite, those who try suffer sometimes!
