So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why???
There are several audio gear Youtubers chronically playing clips displaying speakers and amplifiers and even cables to have YouTube listeners evaluate sound quality. And then they go to shows and display music clips from the very small Hotel rooms. And yes I watch a few and some can be interesting. It's gotta be tough for these manufactures to go to these hotels all the time and deal with all the people. Basically, it's a mixture of all kinds of higher end components and somehow it's possible to appreciate what individual components sound like. $200,000 speakers surrounded by lots of other high-priced gear. How does one charge anything?
Are they trying to fool people with sound comparison music clips? What is the point and why are they wasting their time? Maybe headphones might detect something. I fail to appreciate why these individuals do this, and why do they dedicate so much time to this. Are they being paid to promote speakers and amplifiers? And then reading the comments where all these people seem to really believe they hear differences.
Time might be better spent explaining technical merits of the gear and opinions on how it sounds. And why their recommended gear is so expensive.
@bruce19 your post is what audio formats YouTube accepts, not what it actually provides on the viewer end. It takes your source files and transcodes them to whatever lossy codec they use as part of H.264 or VP9 video encoding. Knowing they accept lossy files to begin with doesn't exactly inspire confidence. LOL. |
I was in The SHOW Costa Mesa 2023 last weekend. I thought WT audio (rm #327) sounded noticeably clean and musical. I visited WT room twice to confirm what I heard. Today I watched Youtube videos of The SHOW and they prove I was right. YT is an one way to evaluate the audio system. Visit AJ’s channel to see all videos from The SHOW.

What is absurd is not buying 400,000 bucks speakers so much as putting them in a non dedicated completely tuned for them acoustic room... This nourrish the complete ignorance of acoustic by consumers...Who think putting panels on a small room or in a large one is enough... it is not my experience in small room at all.. In general nobody sell acoustic save acoustician... In general acoustic cannot be sold ( panels can be) we must learn it in s specfic room by ourself... it is painstaking and long.... At least it was for me but more fun than anything with improvement each day or two, and more revwarding than any possible upgrade, no comparison.. Anyway new upgrade must be acoustically integrated ... Now knowing that most people can do that, it is sad, i recommend headphone... Anyway most live happy with their speakers in their living room why not? Only music matter at the end... But if we speak about audio truth, truth matter matter , there is no short cut for acoustic, but they are many shrortcut about costlier purchase choices..

I was interested in your historical posts, not many, and you visit lots of shows and recommend speakers. are you saying you can hear the difference with YouTube and it’s helpful? You saw it in person and are you saying YouTube reflects this accurately? I did check out your recommended video and it sounded very nice. The junkie guy YouTube video was well recorded, the guy knows what he's doing. |
