Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!

... is it total nonsense when YouTubers play music to suggest you can hear a difference between components ...

It’s nonsensical to me how anyone can use a lo-res source such as YT to judge audio quality. Yet there are some YouTubers trying to make buck by recording the videos for them. They cultivate an aura of drama, excitement and mystery while trying to maintain a guru-like sense of enlightenment. It’s just a fantasy and completely harmless.

Hi, can I derail this conversation to talk about people who hear differences in bad sounding hotel rooms? 🤣

A difference is a difference no matter how bad the room or acoustics are. You might not hear a component or speaker perform at its potential, but if you can hear an improvement (or the other way) when something is swapped out, then it exists.

Completely agree.

Dumbest thing ever.....they are doing that now over at Decware...... and saying how great it sounds
