Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube


This gentleman has stirred up some controversy in the audio world over on YouTube. I personally, find him very interesting.  What are your thoughts?

I think his videos are great for beginners or those on tight budgets.  The info he provides can also be useful to seasoned audiophiles/ enthusiasts just looking for some budget friendly gear when putting together secondary systems, gifts for others, etc.  I don't think we should be gate keepers to new people or those with limited budgets.  I've seen this in other hobbies, as well, unfortunately.  

If he's a reviewer of affordable gear, more power to him. However, if he thinks a $300 loudspeaker sounds better than a $5000 loudspeaker, he's not facing reality. 

I will say he is very entertaining. Much like OCD Mikey but I see more value in some of the OCD guys videos. 

 

I find him pretty funny and I enjoy his commentary. While I have no interest in any of the gear he reviews, I watch some of his stuff anyway. Strictly for entertainment.

@mapman,

I find him entertaining. I think he has a good grasp of inexpensive value oriented equipment simply because he reviews so much of it. I believe he is a good place to start if you are new to this hobby. He is respectful of other peoples opinions, (usually).

 

He has another channel called the cheapwatchman, although his ideas of value of watches seems to vary quite a bit from them as opposed to audio equipment. 

IMHO
