I like Steve Guttenberg.

I’ve known this guy’s name for years, but I only just started watching his You Tube stuff and I find it really entertaining. He’s a real quirky, NY, Woody Allen type who attempts to offer some sane, balanced advice, but aside from that, I just find the presentation fun to watch. He also broaches some common audio BS like "it’s all about the music" and stuff like that. Just take a look and have a good time.

Usually fairly solid practical advice which shows he is able to adopt the perspective of other users. This is essential in a excellent reviewer as personal preference has no place in a review.

Of course his setup is at odds with many of his reviews and advice as his personal setup seems to be seeking fun flavourful sound rather than accuracy - which after all is a very worthwhile goal.

My post got cut short, the final word should be hair cut. He could give Peter Madnick (not sure of spelling) a run for his money with that hair.. I didn’t care for his uTube videos, they do not seem professional or polished in any way.

Let me get back to the hair thing, IMHO long hair on us older guys looks ridicules

He is a 70's type guy and a haircut to match.

I would not trust a bald or crewcut sort of guy on audio opinion!

Some of us are hair (challenged). I try to wear a cap at group audiophile listening sessions so as not to blind or distract other listeners..... :-)
