Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community

DRBOOP.......I will say it again that it was '' useless '' . I am blessed with many long time friends and a very strange and very odd comment that you would equate me liking a '' useless ' video to having friends. Very odd .....

Rap is crap & NOT real music..
 Electronic is NOT real music,it is sound.
#9 is so far removed from fact it lives on Mars..
#5 is true but will NEVER be accepted or acknowledged because of the subconscious justification of those who can simply afford more & the manipulation of those who have set themselves up as golden ear influencers..
#1,I challenge ANY golden ear to prove this in blind listening tests..
 

@nonoise Funny! He’d probably think that. One of his trademarks is to the the "outsider with insider knowledge." This is like the Mikey guy. (Actually, he’s the "rebel-who-tells-it-like-it-is-but-also-wants-to-sell-you-stuff-but-hey-its-not-about-the-money.) Then, there are others like Hans Beekhuyzen or Steve Guttenberg who don’t really bother with playing at being outsiders. They know their stuff, they like it, and they don’t feel a need to constantly tell people that they "Don’t listen to that tired old audiophile music" or some other story to prove that they are outsiders – "Hey, I’m just like you." I find Darko to be about 40% "Too cool for school" and while he’s done some great episodes, his overall persona is – to me – tiresome.

Why do you think this? Curious about the reasons.

What John Darko is doing is to get a conversation going. I also watch/read other reviewers.

#13 - I have been to 1 audio show, SWAF in 2024, small show, easy to view ever room. I also take trips to visit physical stores to listen. Better synergy, room treatments.

#14 - Listen to new, buy used/trade-in. Some people can buy new, I buy their used. Mola Mola Tambaqui, Grimm MU1

Glad you all are enjoying this.
