absolutely

I'm not challenging this axiom, but for a long time I heard something that everyone would nod and agree with. It went like this: I've heard plenty of equipment that sounds great but doesn't measure very well, but I've never heard anything that measures well and doesn't sound great. It seems like that used to be a mantra that no one disputed in the '90s and '00s.

@@AndyBHomeas measurements do not matter too me as long as it sounds amazing and it stirs my soul its for me and there the only pieces that stay.The sounds amazing part is only the smaller part of the equation as that can wear off quickly but when you feel it in your heart then you know its for you.This will not happen that often and when it does hold on to it for dear life and do not let go or it could be a huge mistake

@@terrywho22 this was in Michigan. I think I heard someone say that in a store around 1992 or so. Then I heard it again within a year, and then it seemed like it was something that became ubiquitous. Everyone was saying it. I never knew if it was true or not. I had no sense of whether or not things measured well because the only specs I knew about were wattage, frequency range, and distortion. I think i can hear minute changes in my own system based on things like changing an RCA cable, but I've never been able to discern significant differences in brands or subtle changes in equipment in a store or someone else's house. Indeed, even in my own house I've never been able to detect the difference between one CD player and another. My turntables all sound different. My speakers all sound different. My speakers cables all sound the same to me. Even most of my amps sound pretty much identical to me, and they all measure quite different from each other. I don't think I can hear a lot of the things that other people do in certain pieces of equipment. I generally have sub $3K components though and I'm very happy with pretty much all of it.

actually its alot more guarantee than ANY subjective reviewer, listening experience means nothing without clear references. all the worst speakers iv owned comes from subjective designers with zero data.

well your the reviewer🙂👍

that is the one once found why change.My prescription? I tell people to keep as it may not come around again

everyone reacts differently when upset

@@greatlookinglandscap True. However, the way you react is your responsibility. The choice is yours to respond to things in either a positive manner or get ugly. Your destructive/constructive behaviors belong to no-one else but YOU.

😂Hey buddy ya Im just a messenger that says all actions have consequence in life and every person reacts differently

oh well.Who cares it is unneeded stress for everyone involved the youtube reviewer included.Stress is a killer

Sorry I do know exactly whats going on just did not want to be too obvious about it here.For me regardless of what you or others think of the situation in the end all actions have a consequence and everyone reacts differently to others actions especially when passion is involved.I feel its best as a reviewer which I am not to stay away from any possible problems.Regarding reviews I could do it blindfolded there a dime a dozen my content comes from my heart to help others via discussion and maybe even the odd prescription to solve uneeded stress and pain.Who needs any stress as a creator on youtube.It is awful to have to deal with that for both.I do the odd review but my heart and soul is the measuring tool as to whether I can live with a component or not

You seem stunned shall I prescribe a pill that can help with your problem?

Erin's Audio Corner reviewed some Tektons. They fared reasonably well, but Tekton didn't like it and reacted negatively using the word litigate somewhere. I don't know where, but the public reaction to it has been almost universally negative - anti Tekton, with lots of people saying they'll never buy anything from Tekton now. Of course none of those people ever did or ever would have anyway, so who knows if it will make any difference?

@@AndyBHomeIt already has. Eric said so himself. Said he hasn't sold one pair of M Lores since ASR posted their negative review of them. Erin's video was actually positive. But he still cried about it. And made it ten times worse. Than he doubled down by posting a video. He brought it all in himself. And will likely continue to do. It's his nature. ✌️

@@amb3cog I just saw the video where Eric from Tekton says he hasn't sold a pair of his Lore model since the Audio Science Review measurements of them were posted. I want aware of ASR's role in the story. Ooooh this is not good for Tekton. I don't see ASR backing down on this. Now I don't know how Tekton's bigger speakers sound, but they always looked interesting. I'm just not a fan of painted cabinets. I really like real wood veneer. If Tekton made stained, oiled wood veneer I'd be very tempted to check them out, but after the current scandal I'm pretty sure there's no way I'll ever consider purchasing anything from them.

@@AndyBHome As someone who has sold High End audio for over a decade, I doubt the typical Tekton customer is a member of ASR or has read any of Amir's reviews. Stereophile regularly post reviews of loudspeakers that measure poorly, that have no issue with sales. Just look at their recent review of the B&W 801 D4. The FST Midrange us in that speaker line for decades has poor dispersion and it shows in the measurements, yet the B&W 800 series is the most sold High End loudspeaker line ever. So eric blaming ASR's review for poor M Lore sales is more than a bit disingenuous

well said but I am really not interested in what they do.Reviewing audio equip I could do blindfolded it requires no effort creating content when it is provided for you .The way I do it audio related is from the heart is just on pure knowledge with the goal to help direct or discuss and even recommend certain components but only the ones I live with and continue to as they have proven there self too me over.I call it the prescription and I have wrote a few and they were the remedy😊

🤷I will leave the riddle up to you but its not the first time though that this has happened.But the message is to tread lightly in the waters of reviewing.I am not a reviewer its too easy theres no challenge.What I do comes from my heart all my content.I do not need it provided.I do the odd review but only of components I own and have proven themselves too me

Yes and I have shared that exact sentiment many times on my channel.Its just another prescription of mine.But the gear that stays are the ones you feel not just hear.Good sound wears but emotional engagement does not

Thanks I take that as a compliment

@@greatlookinglandscap Sure is a compliment.

@@stevenburdick424Thanks Steven

No I am not siding with anyone its a topic for discussion.But my heart is my measuring tool.If it engages its the right one period.I have never cared about measurements.To each there own

well your watching.Big reviewers ok ? lol! sorry I do not need content provided to have a channel it comes from decades of experience.I do not care about subs as Im successful.My goal is to give back and get people off the delusion of a perfect system.The latest and greatest bullshit.I am exactly who I am here with no fear of what others think.You can take what you want and leave the rest or take nothing it just does not matter too me.My goal is to help people with an open mind regarding audio.I wish you well

I get you channel, taking jabs At other channels is unprofessional.

@@Prometheus1979sorry brother theres no jabs at individuals there my honest opinions and topics for discussion as there is too much unoriginal redundant content.I could do reviews with my eyes closed but its not challenging enough and believe me I have connections to do it.Everything will be ok.Enjoy the day

​@@Prometheus1979I hear where You're coming from, but I don't think you can truly know anyone's motivation. The Shrink does his thing and he's not trimming it with a surgical steel blade. He just puts himself out there, warts and all, and he let's us judge him for the balance of his presentations. He's prolific. Yeah he might sound contradictory or even hypocritical at times, but I think he's sincere. He certainly doesn't have any financial motivation to put up a calculated facade. He's just being himself and hoping, allowing us to take it in and see if we can make sense of it all. I've known guys like him all of my life and I feel like I know where he's coming from. I don't even feel like I'm the same kind of person that he is, but I'm comfortable with who he is and I think I can get valuable, hard won experience from him just because he cares enough to lay it all bare. Could we find fault in some of his presentations, his attitude on any given day? Sure. You betcha. But everything he says is motivated by a truth that compels him to speak out. That's worth applauding, even if it doesn't always land on fertile soil.

@@AndyBHomeYou really understand nice to see.I am grateful to you that you do not judge but look deeper into my purpose
