I guess there isn't too much difference between watching U-Tube and following internet forums when it comes to valuing comments and advise, or for that matter making comments or giving advice. Whatever floats your boat, its a personal choice made for reasons mostly unique to the individual. Don't watch if you don't like! You really don't need to piss on others for their beliefs. :-(
Why on earth?
Answer me this: On You-Tube, there are endless of reviews, comparisons, and demos of equipment played in the creators room, recorded by a mic and published as if we could hear anything relevant considering we are listening to OUR stereo! Some of these have high play counts. Does anyone think they could hear differences in an amp or DAC picked up by some unknown mic, A2D, post processing and played back on their HT? Are we really that stupid?

@newbee +1 The current mindset(of many) is asserting one's opinion as the undisputed truth. YT can be informative with a sound clip giving one the basic characteristics of a given component or system. I attended Axpona 2023 and many sound clips replicate to a small degree what I heard in person. |
@newbee +1 I generally listen for consensus. For instance, if several reviewers comment that a certain speaker is a difficult load, I tend to file it away. Regarding watching YouTube as time well spent, I occasionally read a debate thinly veiled as an audio discussion forum, so what do I know? Just kidding, hope everyone has a good evening! |
