i agree. but when amir directly reported to bill gates reguarding his research into audio compression and also has the best gear it is at least worth a look. i dont agree with him on many things but his techincal knowledge about audio compression and equipment isnt just made up or a fraud. the measurements speak for themselves and all he has to do is step out of the way. which he doesnt always do. again the anandas have a very strange shape and you are seeing the effects here. people should know about that. i think its a great headphone. sucks about the distorion and phase alignment unless someone could prove thats because of the lack of seal but i dont think so.
Yeah, Amir is a massive credit. His experience, qualifications and credentials cannot be ignored. Don't have to agree with him on many subjective things but it's good to have this recourse for people who are engineering inquisitive. Those who think objectivity is overrated should get their information from those who they trust / prefer, but Amir is no fraud.
