Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube

I like what he's doing. 

I've heard some relatively inexpensive gear that challenges much, much more expensive gear... so my own niche in audioland has been and remains practical gear that overperforms its pricepoint.  Thus, I hear where the man is coming from.

So, if he can turn people on to some bang-for-the-buck overachievers and help people get great sound without destroying their bank accounts, I'm all for it.  

(... although I say this as I have another live thread currently in which I'm looking for commentary comparing the Technics SU R 1000 amp with the Accuphase e-480... so lol, it's all good 😊 )

he praised the Denafrips Ares 2 and rightly so. not cheap, but within many peoples budget

I consider Youtube reviews to be irrelevant opinionated egotistical jackass garbage. I prefer Amir and online magazines although I still take them with a grain of salt.

I don't care how much money a person has if you pay $20 to $40,000 for a piece of wire you're getting scammed, there's nothing that they can do to a piece of wire to make it worth that much sorry you got too much money and not enough common sense LOL

Some cable are indeed better than others. It's all about the quality of the shielding and the quality of the wires. Take USB for example; the data certainly needs to be shielded from the power.
