Why on earth?

If you have ever heard the careful tube rolling comparisons by Tyco Dogg on YouTube,, I think you might change your tune that one can’t hear meaningful differences on YouTube. You can. And the format may be lossy, but it’s not terrible, especially if you have listened to JRAD concerts and the like.

 I have used Tyco Doggs work to help select 6SN7 tubes for my three preamps. I became familiar with the 5692 and VT231 tubes through his work and understood how much better they sound than most new production tubes.

@ticat got it, thanks. 

I think there is lots of useful/interesting content on YouTube, but social media in general, so-called influencers, Tik-Tok videos etc. are contributing to the decline of society - and it starts early - an iPad is now the babysitter.

And way too much screen time + not spending enough time outside in the sun is contributing to the significant increase in Myopia...

Thread hijacked (sorry) rant over.  

I commented on a few of those videos.  "You Spent All That Money and they still sound like television speakers."

YT music, with or w/out vids, to me is like flipping thru the LPs’/CDs’ @ a b&m shop....

Sometimes with ’something in mind’, but open to the surprise....;)

Using ’phones eliminates my speakers and the space that they and I am in.

As for your speakers for listening to speakers in another space filtered by that to do so....

...I posted a vid featuring my diy efforts a rather long while back (’15)....in G Search as the first image, 7x in the images page....

I apologize for the lousy audio, Sony P&S camera, mono from the mic onboard....noisy fluorescents, ceiling fan on low...at least on a tripod...*G*

....been a low priority to reshoot, and the subject has improved...

Pre-Happy Labor’d Daze...J

@tonywinga RCA did that! They over saturated the colors, loved the irony of those commercials! That's what comes from not teaching people how to, and the merits of thinking critically. Well, that and totalitarianism. 😉
