Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube

I’ve seen some of his videos.

If you’ve never heard, nor owned quality equipment, or are just starting your audio journey, he’s worth a watch.

Unfortunately, I’m sort of "way beyond" most of the garbage he seems to peddle/advocate/review. (I’m not trying to sound snobby, but when he tells me that a hybrid tube amp for $139 off of AliExpress is the best thing since sliced bread, well.....I can pretty much guarantee you it’s not.)

Most of my cables cost more than the equipment/gear he reviews.

IOW, I don’t really find his advice useful, (nor very accurate).

@mr_m ,

Interesting you brought that up (the cheap watch channel). I'm also "fairly" into watches (and you think audio can be expensive, lol). I saw his watch channel come up in my feed, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. If it's about AliExpress watches though, lol... He seems like a likeable enough guy. I appreciate his dry sense of humor (most of the time). I just don't have a lot of interest in most of the stuff he reviews. But I also understand his channel isn't necessarily intended for me. IOW, I'm probably not his target demographic, and that's fine. My only suggestion to him (not that he's asked for it, lol) would be to probably spend some time with some reference grade gear in a good room. It would probably change his mind on some stuff, or at least enlighten him a bit on what "good" actually sounds like. 

FWIW, I just checked out his Cheap Watch Guy channel. LOL. JC, and I thought some of the stuff he reviewed on his audio channel was junk. Just...wow.

More power to you, Randy, but again, not for me. 

@langelo68 I watch Tarun more often than not when his videos come out. I’m not into everything he auditions, but I do like his calm, decaffeinated demeanor, lol. I like Thomas, too. Zero Fidelity reviewed what I consider to be a "Holy Grail" piece for me: The Classe Delta pre/amp. *Oooooh,,,,,,,Daddy likey!*

Randy usually looks like he’s hungover.
