How competitive are you with your system?

I anticipated discrepancies. I did not expect catastrophic SQ deterioration like I experienced. I'll try with headphones, that's a good suggestion.

gen2rev   Not proud to admit it, but I think I’m competitive about acquiring sound that makes me happy for the lowest cost. 

Acquiring a good sound system isn't easy and low cost. I heard many (almost all) unlistenable sounding >$500K audio systems. The better sound isn't equal to more money. It's finding the right people who can help you with the sound. They can help you many ways and YT is easiest way to get help. 

People, who are getting into audio or want to upgrade their audio, need some guides or reference to set their target sounds. YT lets them hear the glimpse of what they will get for their investment. 

I'm sure, if A system sounds better than B system in YT video, A system sounds better in real too.  Alex/Wavetouch audio

@devinplombier So how do you explain the exceptional, great and outstanding sound quality of the audio recordings of my systems and those of others?

@carlos269 

Thank you for the tips. I guess I thought it would be an easier task like posting pics of my system. I will look into the you tube side.

... how do you explain the exceptional, great and outstanding sound quality of the audio recordings of my systems and those of others?

That's easy. It's either or both of the following:

1. You have a preference for lossy, compressed recordings. That is not at all uncommon - many prefer the SQ of sources such as Spotify and YouTube, which are inherently compromised by design so as to limit file size.

2. You're watching a video of an audio system, so what you see influences what you think you hear, a/k/a "confirmation bias."
