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?

Generations of yoots loved the sound quality of mp3, those golden ears are still out there, they hear differences we cannot possibly hear. They can probably hear the magic difference of various fuses in equipment online.

A very good question your phone,or tablets monotone speakers suck!

the only thing I can see is showing you features or the design and components 

which have some merit, as far as music 🎶 it is a moot point ,pointless literally !!

Dog breeders post videos of adorable little puppies, frolicking around doing "puppy stuff" as if an amateur video will incapsulate a valid representation of the essence and personality of the puppy. Some people have the ability to visit the breeder in person and conduct a 20-minute "personal interview" with the prospective new (long term) roommate. Some order these furry creatures sight unseen not knowing if they are getting a cuddly ball of joy, a family treasure, or a narscistic little bastard that’s all about his own gratification that could care less about the emotional needs or time constraints of its new owners.

I guess people who love puppies, are lot like people who love audio gear. Any morsel of an interaction that comes from the experience (via YouTube), regardless of how limited or compromised is better than no experience. "..... I sure would like a hit."

Atleast picking the wrong DAC won’t poop on your floor, be a time vampire, or chew thru your internet cable.

And, oh yeah, the grandkids love the puppy. And the internet is back up and running.

Okay, we went for a cruise in one of my old cars yesterday with the top down and his little puppy face hanging out over the door with fur blowing in the wind. We’re good buddies now. Nevermind.

Going to YouTube for sonic experiences is like drinking sea water when you’re desperately thirsty. It seems like a good idea in the moment, but a little but in that direction lies only madness.
