How competitive are you with your system?

All it proves is a video proves NOTHING 

It tells you what a system looks like, which perhaps helps feed confirmation bias.

All you have to do is capture the audio at the listening position and make an audio recording, embedded in the video.

Are you suggesting you capture audio then dub the video with it? I thought I’d ask, because I tried video-ing my system and the playback sounded like absolute trash, even played through the very same system. I just used the stock photo app on my Pixel. Apologies if this is an inane question.

@devinplombier I just talking about shooting a video from the listening position but the minute you say “video” everyone gets dismissive really quick so I refer to them as “audio recordings embedded in the video”, because that is exactly what they are.

@devinplombier Why do think or speculate that the system audio recordings of my systems and of others don’t sound like trash? What makes our simple videos/audio recordings different than yours or anyone else’s? I assume that you have a current cell phone, but you can also use an external microphone with it if you want to. the BelieveInHifi guy uses expensive high-end professional studio microphones and equipment to make his system videos and to be honest to me the better equipment doesn’t tell me much more than the iPhone videos he posts first for comparison. We will never be able to make all variables equals so recording devices do not need to be, and usually never are, the same. The only thing that is crucial is that the audio recording/video be captured/shot from the listening position, or otherwise all comparisons and assessments are off.
