Magico's M9

"Jay’s audio puts forward all this extremely expensive gear and doesn’t really talk about it. What makes it so great? He doesn’t seem to have any technical expertise or willingness to share it. The continual sound comparisons and teasing is difficult to comprehend. No one can hear her a difference it’s ridiculous"

Well said! He's not an audio guru, he's an entrepreneur.

... He's not an audio guru, he's an entrepreneur.

I think that's true of almost all of the YouTube crowd. They seek to be "influencers." Jay had a really aggressive, promotional thread on A'gon, which he shut down after he attracted critics, which he just could not abide. There's a thread now where the guy who runs ASR is vigorously defending himself. He has to work really hard at it and it isn't a pretty sight.

If only they had a influencer like Jay who offered technical expertise. And maybe some critical commentary comparing gear. This would be a GameChanger. No one really does this very well.

Do any of these influencers really make much money? Or is it just for the joy of doing something. Are they really paying for these mega speakers they put in front of them? Doubtful

Lets see. The Magico M9 is $750k. I will admit I am a blue collar guy so I am going to spend all this money assuming I have already put investments aside. I live in Ohio so I can get a very nice home for $400k and I can have a dedicated room for another $50k. That leaves me around $300k for the speakers and an updated HiFi system. If I can find a decent set of speakers for $100k I still have $200k for all the electronics. Digital $15K TT $15k Two mono amps $20k Preamp $15k Cables $10k. I still have money leftover for a decent Truck and buy the wife a new car. Maybe a Ford or GMC or Toyota Truck and get the wife her Prius. Now I look like a hero.
