Honestly i think those people are either Amir disciples, or people just faced with the truth and can't deal with it yet. Time will be the ultimate judge and there will be stories of "i used to believe Amir. But it made me stop enjoying music "
Ah, Jude vs NWAVGuy vs /r/headphones. That's like McDonalds suing Rupert Murdoch and EA - you sort of want there to be a way for them all to lose horribly.
The absolute lack of expertise in r/headphones, which consists of 90% "I just bought X, did I do good?" posts, is what drove me back here. Head-Fi is... well... head-fi, and r/audiophile is nothing of the sort. I've learned more about measurements over the past week than I ever thought I would because of this.
Yeah, reading on r/headphones I don't think most of them know how to read graphs. Most of the posts are "This guy says this and has this bias, this guy says this and has no bias. And this guy can't be trusted because he says 'f**k You Amir'. who do you believe?"
If they really understood what was posted, Amir's lies would be so obvious. Instead they just want to defer to their favorite authority.
That thread has basically become pure cancer. People still don't believe anyone despite overwhelming evidence. I've tried to fight the good fight on that sub before but its ultimately not worth it.
I love the whole "don't trust these sites just because they sound like experts" while blindly following the word of ASR. R/audiophile isn't the best but this crap has been spilling over into there as well.
Don't really care for the slinging wars, but what I will say is I probably won't buy a schiit product Lol. Whatever measurement is corrector not, they seem to have qc problems. Although the prices are great, I can't help but to feel something might be compromised. Seems very flavor of the month around here as well. Its like you have people who praise the lyr 3, sell it after a little while.
