Jay’s Audio Lab YouTube interview 😂

Have you seen Jay on The HiFiFive?

This weekly show, every Wednesday at 6:00pm Pacific Time / 9:00pm Eastern Time, is our opportunity to tell you the behind-the-scenes truth about high-end audio and the industry.

In Episode 7 we discussed:

-- The influence of magazine reviewers, influencers and audio forums to consumers when buying components. We discuss Jay's business, The Absolute Sound's YouTube Channel and What's Best Forum.

-- What role do audiophile consumers play in hiding component problems and helping manufacturers whitewash defective products? We discuss the behind-the-scenes reality of what goes on with hobbyists and manufacturers when components have design defects.

-- Is the traditional manufacturer / distributor/ dealer industry model outdated? We discuss the Rhapsody listening rooms business model versus a traditional dealer network; Joe Cali's Gryphon brand store in Los Angeles; Gary Leed's Hear This and Elliot tells dealer war stories.

I elected a long time ago to block his videos on YouTube - just waaaaaayyy too arrogant for me. In fact, if I had $75K to spend on a system and walked into a high end dealer and the sales team acted like him I would walk out. I would never give $75K to someone like that.

I don't understand how someone can create a really nice sound room and then provide samples of how it sounds on YouTube. Is he opening up a retail store in the middle of a Texas forest? Who will get to see and hear this amazing sound room? Maybe it's a situation where if you build it they will come?
 

For me uninteresting videos of ultra expensive kit due that I don't believe he ever uses unamplified music to evaluate gear.

Altthough I do enjoy 60´s/70´s classic rock, (mostly in the car) it´s classical and jazz in the home.
