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......

Roy, you're starting to sound like a Flat Earther defending the indefensible. All other things being equal, it is possible to hear the difference in say, changing a cartridge or speaker, or tubes in a HD YouTube video. You can hear one being brighter, darker, or more detailed than the other. We are in agreement that you cannot hear the exact same sound as you would in a live audition. The medium and the transducers get in the way. Just like listening on a system is never as accurate as the real performance. Nevertheless, we are satisfied listening to our hi-fi systems which give a simulation of the real thing. So too does the YouTube video. It may not be as good but it is discernible. 

Just wow.

Betting 99% of us are not running YouTube videos through our reference systems. Zero connectivity through quality servers or streaming systems.  My Innuos statement has zero YouTube ability. Unless I use airplay and why would I. 

I wonder if all the ones who say you can't hear a difference on well recorded YouTube videos stream music. Just saying.....

I did not talk about reviewing.
You claimed that differences can’t be heard on YouTube. That is factually incorrect.

 

Better to have your nose in the air than your head up your.....arse.

GO BLUE!!!
