Unlike most here, he conducts thoughtful, objective, repeatable experiments to prove his points. Does he have an opinion and a bias? Sure, like most of us humans. But he spends his time testing and documenting real evidence to back it up. His contribution is the result of many tests, with published data and measurements. These include many internet blind tests with good, well-documented statistical analysis at the end. IMHO, he is one of very few who actually does real experimentation. Sure, that linked article was just an 'opinion' piece, but it's based on the totality of his published results and shouldn't be taken out of that context. Agreed. He's published literally hundreds of tests on his blog site - real, repeatable, tests - and clearly documents his results and interpretation. tmtomh, Sonicularity, HalSF and 2 others 3 2 John Walker - IT Executive Headphone - SonicTransporter i9 running Roon Server > Netgear Orbi > Blue Jeans Cable Ethernet > mRendu Roon endpoint > Topping D90 > Topping A90d > Dan Clark Expanse / HiFiMan H6SE v2 / HiFiman Arya Stealth Home Theater / Music -SonicTransporter i9 running Roon Server > Netgear Orbi > Blue Jeans Cable HDMI > Denon X3700h > Anthem Amp for front channels > Revel F208-based 5.2.4 Atmos speaker system Link to comment

I enjoy reading reviews from pro audio websites. I like to see measurements, wherever and whenever I can. Anti-audiophile sites like Archimago's blog, Audio Science Review, Hydrogen Audio, etc., are worth consulting, because they lead me to question subjective reviews, user opinions, manufacturers' claims, and even my own impressions. I haven't found much of a correlation between measurements and sound quality. I am more comfortable when gear earns praise on both audiophile and pro sound sites. In the end, I can only determine value through longer term listening in my own system. How is Archimago's blog "anti-audiophile"? Surely, the quest for the best possible playback is INHERENTLY "audiophile" - else, why are we here? pkane2001, firedog and Sal1950 3 John Walker - IT Executive Headphone - SonicTransporter i9 running Roon Server > Netgear Orbi > Blue Jeans Cable Ethernet > mRendu Roon endpoint > Topping D90 > Topping A90d > Dan Clark Expanse / HiFiMan H6SE v2 / HiFiman Arya Stealth Home Theater / Music -SonicTransporter i9 running Roon Server > Netgear Orbi > Blue Jeans Cable HDMI > Denon X3700h > Anthem Amp for front channels > Revel F208-based 5.2.4 Atmos speaker system Link to comment
