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.
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?

@macg19 +1 but... Wow... why does Everything need to be about Absolutism? So... the YouTube audio of a Demo'd item is not the Be All and End All. I am convinced most people who are Audiogon participants are aware of the technical limitations on display there. Is it So totally egregious as to be important enough to publicly denounce the attempt to demonstate a product/system (to total strangers) and go on and on about it? Is not a Taste better than a Whiff? I'd expect the Absolute Truth attitude from the patrons of a (Psuedo) Scientific Site or somewhere that everything gets reduced to Numbers, Ones and Zeros, graphs and measurements...Hmmmm |
We listen the radio for the music, information, and to kill the time in the car and truck every day. Does that make us stupid? You shouldn't confident too much for the sound of your hi-fi system. Why most women don't like to listen an expensive hi-fi audio? I believe non-audiophiles (wives) prefer the original music (w/ $30 computer speakers) than the sound of < $100K hi-fi system. Unless one has a true natural sound audio system like mine, I wouldn't insult Youtubers. Alex/Wavetouch |
