Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!


Is it just me, or is it total nonsense when YouTubers play music to suggest you can hear a difference between components. Totally drives me crazy and I discount anything they have to offer from that point on......

I was going to ask the same thing. Even my mid-fi computer set up using Klipsch PM41s via USB from my iMAC can be very revealing provided the recording is of high enough quality.

On the better ones, it's' quite easy to hear differences. Consistently. Why do I get the impression there's a lot of really cheap "audiophiles" out there, pissed off at the world?

All the best,

It is as ridiculous as the LG, Samsung and other TV brands’ commercials that show you how great their new TV looks on your current TVs screen.  
 

Wow! That new 8k OLED technology looks really great on my 2019 4K QLED TV.  
 

Makes no sense.

If you can tell a bad singer from a good singer on the radio, you can differentiate between a bad-sounding speaker and a good-sounding speaker on your headphones. 

Wait, what, you can’t hear the differences between great systems at 128 kbs MP3’s through your 1/4” cellphone speakers?? 😉😉😉
