Keith, as for part 2 of your question around hidden agenda’s. I don’t think it’s a sinister as that, rather a case of vested interest thats probably gotten out of control at Head-Fi. I certainly think its dishonest, but maybe due to cognitive bias more then a deliberate plan to deceive or I could be wrong and they know exactly what they are doing and are just out to line their own pockets with cash for comments.
I’ll be honest I don’t understand half the measurements Amir provides here at ASR, what I do know is my experiences using and listening to gear seem to match the results on ASR. That is I have never heard something sound good that didn’t test well here and vice versa.
Now why I don’t trust Head-Fi is pretty simple I have seen them extol the virtues of products, tell the world how awesome they are only for it to turn out the product was soo poorly engineered it was withdrawn from the market for over 6 months to be redesigned from the ground up. Yet if you believed the initial review on Head-Fi it was the best thing going, and measured fantastically.
I have also never seen Amir sling dirt at other people, but others like Head-Fi are quick to play the man and not the ball. They attack Amir personally rather then approach things pragmatically or with a civil tone. They jump on anyone that questions them. I am quite happy to be apart of the ASR community and not the Head-Fi community which I find zealot like.
When I went some subjective entertainment I watch Darko’s YouTube channel and leave it at that. If I were a betting man I‘d bet on Amirs methods every day of the week just based on how I have seen him conduct himself over the past year and his background.
