What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?

@mijostyn , those experienced in electronics and the design of electronics products can view photographs and make generalized comments about the quality of designs, based on experience, good engineering practice and a bit of common sense. Like anything else, it is not perfect, but there is nothing wrong with it, and too many of what look like bad design decisions will make you question well what else is wrong.

There is a quite heated argument going on (mostly unrelated) to the LSA GAN amp. A quick look at the pictures of the interior by someone knowledgeable suggests a really poor decision on the orientation of the AC supply, with a 180 flip reducing the length of the AC wires and their potential for noise coupling to audio, and the ability to shorten the wires (and potential noise interaction) for the DC wires out to the modules. We also see PCB mount XLR connector with wires soldered to them, no hold downs for the wires, no supplemental case grounding connection, etc. The modules appear off the shelf. When you couple the measured performance, the use off the shelf modules, and what comes across as a poorly engineered product, a conclusion similar to the video, i.e. this is over priced for what it is, is a viable conclusion. How will it sound? Like off the shelf modules in a box which you may or may not like.

@cindyment , and there you are. I know very little about electronics so am unable to evaluate it from an electronic standpoint by photograph. I would hazard a guess that very few proprietors of audio stores know much more about it than I do. I am however killer with a soldering iron:) I do generally shy away from Class D amplifiers because I do not like the sound of off the shelf modules in a box or is that just the thought of it?

"First rule: if ya don't like it, don't watch it!"

A great rule, that should be timeless.

However the past 50 years have seen it being gradually revoked in favour of increased censorship.

Perhaps we need to ask do we really want to return to the bad old days when books like Ullyses and most of Henry Miller's work were banned?

When songs such A Day in the Life were banned by the good ol' BBC?

Oh wait, it looks like we may already have.

Does anyone even talk about the importance of a free press nowadays?

Freedom of expression is a basic human right for EVERY adult and those that seek to deny it better have very good reasons.

And there we have it Dear Readers … obviously piqued by an earlier observation that the Rize of GlovePuppet ‘cindy’ has seem a commensurate decline in outpourings from Chucky we observe a slight flurry of material from MC himself

unfortunately, not being smarter than the average bear we see an attempt at brevity from MC at 6.36pm tossing up the pitch for what he really wanted to say under his sock puppet account ‘cindy’ at 6.47pm … man for an ego the size of a small planet that 11 minute wait must have been excruciating.

@femoore12 , come on!. This is not just a hobby. This is LIFE!

Humans have not devolved. They just keep making the same mistakes over and over again. You would have thought that the written word would have stopped this. No such luck. And, the computer assures that we will continue along the same lines indefinitely. Climate change? We desperately need the next ice age.
