My Goodness!

So you think you can listen to a youtube recording of a random system on your system and know what the random system sounds like?

That's a good point, lol.

So is the random system performing at it's peak when your system sounds most like your system?

Yes, Audio Salon does a fantastic job with the sound quality of their videos. 

I am fully aware of what Youtube compression does to sound demos. One has to be comparative. I was just extrapolating that if the Audio Note system could sound that good relative to other Youtube fare, then it was probably a very good system. That does not pretend to be a thorough review.
