Just Stop! - Posting Audio Clips on YouTube

Does anyone else believe it is a very poor use of bandwidth for someone to try and show the quality of the sound produced by their $100k system on YouTube?  Playing an expensive speaker or component on video that then feeds into a microphone and is combined with the video and then posted to YouTube then plays through my tv speakers, soundbar, etc... Eve stranger is when they use this delivery method to A/B components.

Many of us are familiar with John DeVore's YouTube channel. If not, try it! https://www.youtube.com/@DeVOREFIDELITY

This is the most dramatic proof that many audiophiles have no freaking clue what they are talking about or listening to.  Folk argue arcane, tiny potential improvements and then use a compressed, lower than CD quality medium to illustrate differences. Table radio vs. IRS-V? Maybe.

These are not my ProAc Studio 3s in a beautiful system. I do own the model and I do like watching this video. I do not believe that you can make any SQ evaluations via YT. 
 

maybe it’s catnip

Instead of talking about this as if it is some sort of out of this world experience where the audio recordings on YouTube are unrecognizable from the sound in the room, I will use myself, one of my systems, and one of my audio recordings from this past weekend’s listening session:

Palermo Etterno

Who here could challenge me that the sound on the above audio recording is not representative of the sound in the room, when I was there and I was the one who recorded it???????
