My Goodness!

I am fully aware of what Youtube compression does to sound demos. One has to be comparative. I was just extrapolating that if the Audio Note system could sound that good relative to other Youtube fare, then it was probably a very good system. That does not pretend to be a thorough review.

Best system demo I have heard through Youtube.

That is damning with faint praise, sort of like, "That's the best hamburger I ever had at McDonald's."

Every YouTube video that I ever played on my system sounded just like the lossy compressed audio that it is.

It's more like praising with faint praise.

Best system demo I have heard through Youtube.

Best stripper at roachino's club next to the roach motel.

Very recently I was introduced to a Pre-Power Amp' design produced by a EE Friend that has an 3W Output. On the day of the Demo' New High Efficiency Speakers not heard by myself before were also in use.

A Selection of CDT's and CDP's of both SS and Valve circuits were in use, along with a Vinyl Source as well.

From recollection of the impression made of the 3 Watt Amp and Speakers Selected and now unfairly using the Computer Speakers to assess the AN Equipment. I am comfortable with the claim I have heard the AN Youtube Demo' bettered with equipment costing a fraction of their prices.

The 3 Watt Prototype Amp' and Speakers in conjunction with the Sources used, of which one was a AN CDP (heavily modified) and the other a EAR Acute, has made an everlasting impression and caused a rethink about all my thoughts gathered to date on the importance of Amplification.
