Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!

I’m sure there are discernible differences between speakers, amps etc. in these YouTube videos. How could this possibly translate into useful information when heard through a phone or laptop speaker? 

It sounds ridiculous but it might give you some insight about whether you might want audition something in person. That’s probably the only way I think it might be useful. I certainly wouldn’t buy something or pass judgement based on that alone. Otherwise I think it’s just people who like to post YouTube videos.

Yes, we can easily decern over the internet, the cry of a lion to that of an elephant......But Higher End HiFi gear....PLEASE!!!

I have provided links to a graphic demonstration of (well-recorded) sound emanating from high-class, field-coil drivers. Feel free to provide a link to a video that demonstrates a speaker that employs a (typical) permanent magnet, and then tell me that you cannot discern a difference.

I do certainly agree that Youtube videos have serious limitations, but some useful information can be discerned from well-recorded videos.

I am a premium YouTube subscriber and I read above the bit rate increase this year?  Is this true? 

I have to admit lots of the YouTube Music videos and concert videos sound really good on a nice system.  I do question those crazy people doing poor quality videos of concerts and then posting them.  
 

YouTube audio sound comparisons between components is absolutely ridiculous and done rather poorly too.  I wish the upload or's would give their views but what they are listening to and that would be of interest rather than leaving it to the viewers.

If I download a video from YouTube versus streaming, is the download version of better quality?????

I just discovered I have 90 videos downloaded and no idea how this happened and now I gotta get rid of many of them. Download interface is horrifying
