Just Stop! - Posting Audio Clips on YouTube

@fynnegan but what you are failing to understand is that the dominant factor  is the sound qualities of the audio recordings. Sure there are differences between phones/pads/computers/headphones/speakers and even browsers/apps you use to listen to them, BUT what prevails as the dominant factor is the audio recordings’ sound qualities. Let this sink in, if those differences between phones/pads/computers/headphones/speakers and even browsers/apps you use to listen to them where to be more relevant then the music industry as we know it wouldn’t exist as the recordings would sound vastly or dramatically different in each instance. The reason this hobby works and commercial music is a success is because the dominant factor, by large margins, during playback is the sound qualities of the recordings themselves and NOT the differences between phones/pads/computers/headphones/speakers and even browsers/apps you use to listen to them. Let that sink in for a while.

The actual audio recordings are what dominate by far and wide during their playback and not the differences between phones/pads/computers/headphones/speakers and even browsers/apps you use to listen to them.

I think it’s odd that someone would come to a forum to make a post of how other people, presumably folks they don’t know or have a relationship with, use the internet and some other social media site. 

@rjduncan that’s precisely what public forums are for…….and the irony in your post is that that’s exactly what you are doing yourself!

Just watched one last night on Ana-dialog comparing a recording played using Takatsuki vs Western Electric 300B tubes. The guy whose channel it was could hear very little difference between them, but I could hear immediate difference in the texture and detail of the bass, especially. It was some Patricia Barber record, which otherwise I'd never listen to, but it did make it easy to compare the bass in my system. 

@larsman in my view, that is the most powerful thing about comparing audio recordings, it is a more precise and reliable method than the use of fleeting aural memory.
