I have read this thread quite entertainingly about 10 times. It just keeps getting better. Thank you sir.

It was for me, which is to what I was referring.
Not withstanding that that is quite the assumption coming from a new user here ā¦ you donāt get to judge what I deem a waste of time or not.
Temper? Funny. Donāt see any lack of calm in the posts here, either.

If I see any more flagging on this thread, itās getting moved where these kinds of discussions invariably wind up ā¦

Funny, look closer. Real close. Like this quote from him:
No problem, I am also reading your stuff quite āentertaininglyā, sir.
Okay my question is more aimed at the conclusion here. You say we need to test fairly by volume matching, but this reads more like ādonāt bother with other amps, these two I tried in my method sounded the same when matched to my criteriaā. Have you found or do you plan on finding an amp you put through your system and hear a difference, or are you done cause all both sounded the same in your test?

I donāt see how that is temper or lack of calm. Snarky, sure ā¦ but one reaps what one sows. And the passive-aggressive stuff doesnāt really fly with me.

In regards to the thread overall, numerous flags, and various postings ā¦ we have a dedicated thread for when this sort of discussion goes down this path, and Iāll quote you from the intro to that:
āThe final part of the title of this thread seems to be how the Objective vs. Subjective discussions usually wind up making those involved feel. Some back and forth in normal threads on this is fine, but once it takes over the original intent of the thread, expect those posts to wind up here instead.ā
Iāll be quite happy to move the entire thing there, instead.

What? Nooooooooo. Big NO. Never said that. I just said: give it a try with bias and volume matching. All the other stuff came up, because we were so focused on my test method and strayed away from the origin
Iām going to ask a very simple questionā¦ of all the participants hereā¦ as this is starting to trend into angry rebuttals, defensive jibes, sarcasm and wit.
Is this the mole hill you wish to plant your flag and die on? (Figuratively of course)
There are a lot of people that are exponentially more experienced, smarter and better equipped to handle these discussions than I! I do my best to recognize my own lack of knowledge, experience, etc and learn from them.
I know for a fact that there are scientists, engineers, developersā¦ and many more very educated and experienced folks responding in this threadā¦ it is unwise to dismiss them.
Biases work in mysterious ways sometimes, and one can be biased towards ones own biases lol or a belief in ones own experiences as gospel, which can be misleading as people have been proven wrong and right throughout historyā¦ beliefs, unshakable are now considered foolish and ridiculous in todayās world.
Now, please everyone, be respectful, Iāll admit I find the sarcasm and wit funny and enjoy a good ribbing from friends and forum membersā¦ but maybe itās time to pull back and think āam I being the antagonist or protagonist here?ā

Well stated. This is among your best wordsmanship.

@nhatlam96 Looking through your post history on various forums, it looks like you go to various forums to post your Amp theory. I see you posted this one to Hifiguides which was met with similar reception https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=AD35B3A5E527A0CF!19797&ithint=file%2Cdocx&authkey=!AOvunwmtzR9Oxp8
You also have a thread dedicated to this on ASR https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-can-i-volume-match-easily.18525/#post-611395
Youāve received excellent advice from members of this forum with extensive knowledge in electronics, audio and other scientific backgrounds.
Youāve rebuked their advice and have already come to your own conclusions so Iām unsure if there is any value add to continuing the discussion here rather than the the hundreds of other Amp A/B test discussions that exist.

Okay, my point still stands and itās in the very first post I have made:
All your critiques so far just have been aimed to my volume matching. Thatās fair, I really find that so. However, just because my volume matching wasnāt proper in YOUR eyes, doesnt mean that volume matching is the wrong choice. Volume matching is an important aspect on making comparisons fairer. Bias and volume level mismatch irrefutablely deludes perception. If you can do better volume matching than me: Thatās even better, why dont you do it and share your love with the audiophile community? Share your findings then. My honest opinion is, if you donāt think that you are not deceptive to bias or volume level mismatch, then so be it, do what you will.

Im posting in different forums to get different viewpoints. So, whats the problem?
Yes, āsomeā of them were good.
That doesnt garantuee anything. Amir also has āextensive knowledgeā, but his advice also isnt well received. That shouldnt be any different here.
You make it sound like that was my intention from the start. Rebuked isnt correct here. Look through my answers again.

I encourage discourse, exchange, sharing, enlightenment. This has encroached into exhausting point and counterpoint, which is inconsistent with what I find favorable and attractive about this forum/community. Muting topic.

I am beginning to think that you might just enjoy disruption and less so care about what other people think regarding your āpostā ā¦ or any potential help that might come from others.
Your mind is made upā¦ your biases are in place. I for one think it a moot point to continue this topic as it is proving nothing, except that hitting oneās own head against a wallā¦ is just that, hitting oneās own head against a wallā¦
I can say wholeheartedly in my time in this hobby that I have heard a difference between ampsā¦ Iām no engineer, scientist, or what have youā¦ but, your statements fly in the face of mine, and othersā experiencesā¦ and your dismissive nature is quite frankly offensive. I donāt want to be the old guy waving a stick at the youngins to āget off my lawnā here but hot damn if I donāt want to right now.
I hope you keep exploring and testing your theories and ideasā¦ educating yourself on the topic moreā¦ and find what you are looking forā¦ but for nowā¦ I think this thread has run its course. Please, continue participating in the forum and letting us know your findingsā¦ but, I think this specific thread has run its course =)
Merry Xmas to all, and to all a goodnight!
