YT sounds good enough to understand musicality.
YT is lossy audio and whenever I’ve used it as a source in my main system it sounds like it. I think it’s useless as a comparative tool because there are just so many variables involved. I understand that Youtube is a tool for "influencers," but they’ll have to accept that not everyone is so easily "influenced."
... Exactly what are we to take from some crappy YouTube recording? ...
Nothing.
