Audio reviews

[Xr7]

Any desire for audio reviews in this group? I have a bad habit of trying new headphones and speakers fairly often and I thought it may help someone else. This would be purely subjective and I would only be able to compare to other items I have or have had.

Just to list a few of the items I could review.

Wiim amp pro
JDS Atom headphone amp
HD600
DT770 Pro
Hifiman Sundara
Klipsch r51m
Klipsch r50m
Polk R100
Triangle BR03
Moondrop Chu
Several bluetooth headphones

If you want to do it, go for it but audio reviews are already kind of niche, doing all the work just to cater to the audio niche in the hardware niche site...

There are tons of audio reviews on YT - it's tough to compete.

That said, I like my Wiim Amp Ultra but it doesn't sound as good as my Parasound amp (had to sell to finance my unemployed lifestyle)
Still - it's way better than almost any computer speakers amp and the flexibility and features are incredible.

Audio Science Review (ASR) IMO is the best there is, Erin's Audio Corner is also good.

ASR also has a searchable DB of products.

I've used soundguys as well. I haven't searched but some of your list I know has been reviewed to death across multiple places. You would really need to bring something new to the table to stand out amongst them. If you are just doing it for a couple of 'likes' here then go for it.

Z Reviews and SoundNews are good sources, but it's tough to beat ASR.

I say go for it. Worst you could get here is "nuh-uh" and "your doing it wrong" from some rando with 20yrs as an audio technician that you didn't know existed until he responded to your reviews. And then you might learn something new.

So long as you don't start trying to convince people expensive and custom cables improve your listening experience, do whatever makes you happy. Metal is metal and no you can't tell the difference.

I mean, I wouldn't knowingly buy aluminum speaker wire (though I guess it's fine if it doesn't move), but otherwise I mostly agree.

Erin and ASR are the ones I trust for objective data, Erin especially for subjective too. He listens the speakers first, takes notes on what he is hearing and then uses industrial standard Klippel to measure to see what the speaker is really like. If he finds an issue with his listening tests he usually can point out where the issue is in measurements.

Amir of ASR is for measurements only. He takes this approach into rather extreme lengths, ignoring if they are relevant for real life listening or not. ASR is a gold mine for objective data but you have to form your own opinion most of the time as Amirs thought process is basically "if measures good then I like it, if not then I don't."

"I have a bad habit of trying new headphones and speakers fairly..." I wouldn't say it is a bad habit. It defines your unique personality about sound. It also good that you have figured out that you can harness your habit. It is a niche that is not so saturated, but there is still competition. But if I ever have a need for such review, I will have you do it for me than those who will be paid by companies to say good about them.
