Speaker designer Danny Richie (GR-Research) directly attacks ASR

Now, I have heard some good reasons here why you do hear differences. Measurable? Freq? Z? Sometime clearly is L or C whether good or bad but can be heard. Like it? Depends. Just new thing so hear stuff? Sure. But hear it none the less. I have seen others totally unaware of changes make remarks. So yes you can hear it. Really would love to figure out that new/presence/L/C/oxidation - whatever change in timber/sound etc. Certainly rather than berate someone who is asking.

I am not saying you absolutely did not hear a difference but look into these topics.

Hey folks, I would just like to chime in here about the ensuing war as I have followed it on Danny's YT channel from the beginning and have made several posts directed to Danny, although I usually get no response and few likes as I tend to be really verbose and nobody seems to be willing to spend the time to read and think about the science or lack thereof of this subject. Coming off a 50-year career in A/V, RF/RADAR, computer systems/networks data, audio, and video performance engineering, and objective/subjective testing, and also being an avid audio engineering/audiophile, I am very interested in the subject of cabling, EMI/RFI, objective/subjective differences and correlations, among other issues.

So I have copied the last couple of posts to Danny's video that is being discussed here to a file that I attached below so that this post doesn't get ridiculously lengthy. I address the fact that Danny is not doing real science and why, and Amir also has shortcomings in terms of real science, although Amir gets a lot closer to doing real science. I welcome any feedback on these postings and look forward to discussing this issue further.

Anyway.... nice that cheap hifi does not have to be crap - even though a bit of EQ does wonders :)
 
Gentlemen! Please!
I'm reminded of an old adage: "Just because a dog barks at you doesn't mean that you need to bark back."

Jim


This barking back is exactly why there are no women in audiophile groups. Some Audiophile groups are like Nerd fighting rings. One nerd says something ignorant and a hundred other nerds jump in and start slamming the original ignorant nerd. I think we need an official nerd fighting sanctioning organization. WNFA pronounced Winfa. The World Nerd Fighting Association. I volunteer to be the President and represent the association at all the yearly get togethers Called (audiofests etc). I think $10 is the right amount for membership. Please leave me a private message if you want to join. See you in the ring!
 
What IS "real science"?
 
What IS "real science"?
One that evolves. Questioning and dogma should be handled with care... cause things take time - unless we have a lemming effect - like with smartphones and social media. And still we have a persistent part of the population that insist on not moving ... unless treated with their level of respect.
Jim Jefferies put it nicely:
 
wiki sez "teen science fiction comedy film"

I may pass on that.

You know you're talking to a self-professed 80's nostalgia fanatic, right? :D :p ;)

I have watched a lot of documentaries about John Hughes. Gone too soon. :(
