![]() UHF Magazine was one of the only (maybe the only) magazines that noted how many dealers operated to just move boxes.Īudio is a direct experiential thing and it's not one that is equally shared. Just spend more on a box so I can buy my Astin Martin. I have been to a lot of dealers in Canada and I often wondered how the hell they stay in business trying for the fast sale without any real knowledge. ![]() Now I think he missed the point on the KEF LS50 and it is either him not listening to the dealer correctly or the dealer not explaining much. ![]() So here is a professional opera singer reacting to other singers. So I followed that post with a reaction video from a working professional opera singer of some note, Elizabeth Zharoff. Fair enough - I posted it because he had a major emotional reaction to her. Recently I posted a reaction youtube video to a young singer I liked (Aurora Aksnes) and I was met with a similar thing that "who is the random guy" and that he didn't offer any real analysis to the singer. The thing is almost everyone on internet forums talking about audio is "some random guy" using fake names so they can say what they like without the ramifications of someone showing up at your door and punching you in the face for calling them a snowflake or whatnot. And that's another point I'm not forced to watch it, so I don't.Ĭlick to expand.While listening to him it seems he was railing against such people who make various claims without actual expertise. The only channel I find difficult to watch is Audioholics not because I disagree with what Gene is saying a lot of the time, I just find Gene and the presentation of his channel not to my taste. I gained a lot of knowledge, both forgotten and new, and on the whole enjoyed this time. I must of watched hundreds of videos while researching for my new system, but none of my system components was bought off the back of YT channels say so. I think Zero Fidelity/Sean said something similar all these hifi channels should be seen as entertainment, and not as a definitive view on all things hifi. Much like gambling addiction, they don't know when to stop. I think it was an Andrew Robinson video where he's speaking to members of his audience who have reached out to him, as they have a problem with hifi upgraditis. They all have something to offer, and IMHO, the key is to not take anything they say as gospel, but as entertainment. Some are just guys into the hobby, trying to earn a crust while some have long, professional careers in the hifi business. I've watched a lot of YT audio/hifi channels since I got back into hifi after 20yrs, including Cheapaudioman personally, I find him entertaining.and I think that's the key with all these channels take them all with a pinch of salt, and for what they are. And - either way - I have no time for his sort of click-baiting and ignorant-sounding ranting. Or, maybe he really is nothing more than an unskilled, uneducated fool. It’s hard enough to filter the BS out of established review and opinion sources without also having to sort through the semi-literate babbling of a YouTube stooge whose primary intent is to attract enough views to make a couple of bucks. Too many members of too many audio forums have given light and air to YouTubers of all kinds who have literally nothing of value to add to any of our conversations. At least over lunch I’ll listen to the opinion while having a nice meal while spending quality time with a friend. If I want to listen to a non-authoritative opinion on audio, I’ll bring up the subject over lunch with a non-audiophile friend. There is no reason for you or anyone else to give him even a second of your time. He’s just a random guy expressing opinions based on nothing authoritative. Why do you care about what this nobody has to say? Why does anybody care what he has to say? Is he an expert in anything? I mean anything at all? Does he bring some experience or study or training or respected practice to his rant or to his YouTube channel? Or do SHF members think that just because some random guy starts a YouTube channel that it perforce confers upon him some actual authority?
