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.

Meh, I find it fun and even informative and entertaining. On my desktop system, differences are often easily heard when they use top notch mics, setups etc.. You don't hear the differences at all? Bummer.

Here a short and simple tune from my listening session last weekend that others can use for comparison to their own system. You can do it in private and don’t even need to tell anyone how yours compares to mine:

Delia’s Gone

 

Hmmmmm, I just checked Utube.. It's funny, it didn't hold a gun to my head and make me listen.. so I'm guessing if you don't want to see or hear it, don't watch, listen or look for it! I've got a novel idea, It doesn't appear any harm is being done so let people do what they wanna do. Last time I checked it's a free country!! :) Too- 100k rigs are on the lower end spectrum. Almost all my audiophile Friends Rigs are pushing 4 to 800k. A big part of the fun in this hobby is to actually see what other people have and what direction they went in. 

I want to hear them playing in my room for my entertainment using their equipment played at their volume levels:

So drag in that Hammond C3/Leslie, those Marshall stacks, a full drum kit and let it rip!

samureyex    I might be wrong, the Arendal 1528 might be amazing in person, and not the least metallic or tinny, but to my ears, the Arendal sounds just like the material of its drivers. 

I will link 2 sound demos, 2 different speakers, same room. To my ears the B&W sounds much better than the 1528. On top of 1528 being slightly metallic and tinny, the vocals also sounds quite bad.

I agree to your opinion that BW sounds warmer and clearer. I wish a same music is used for 2 recordings. The music used on 1528 sounds bright and thin which could make 1528’s sound bad.  Find Another Reason (original music)

Then I found another 1528 recording which sounds bright and lifeless (metallic + tinny).  Arendal 1528 bookshelf demo1

I think 1528 is actually bad sounding. Alex/Wavetouch audio
