Re: Youtube Audiophile Related Rants
The hardest part of being an audiophile is figuring out what an unknown component sounds like without the preconceived biases of asking for other’s opinions…

Re: Youtube Audiophile Related Rants
Agreed. Plus, it's important to learn he's very much a "newbie" to this whole hobby/avocation/addiction/whatever of ours, and is still a "grasshopper", if you ask me. I remember that he put a review of the GR-Research DIY XL-S Encores standmount (which some of you may remember I also built up) with something like, all of 4 hours on the speakers, stating they were the greatest speaker he had ever heard, and Danny told me he had to write to him and say, "Dude, you need to run these in for 200-300 hours before drawing any conclusions about them. Reviewing them with 4 hours on them will not be accurate."
(GR-Resarch X-LS Encores shown...)
He's still got a lot to learn, IMHO.

To be honest, I don't have the patience for the videos of all these people saying bad things about audiophiles.
But here is the answer (which I didn't see either)

Re: Youtube Audiophile Related Rants
Why would I access Youtube to get anyone's opinion on anything? That thought has never crossed my mind.

Re: Youtube Audiophile Related Rants
What’s the big deal with the poster? All the 50 shades of grey books and all the silly movies about that nonsense, hardly anyone even knows it is an ancient art form to tie someone up in bondage form and some find it very erotic and stimulating. Just google “Shibari photographs” for example…

Yes...it makes for a BIG improvement. Every demo I've heard where at Altaira was in the system, folks listened, and then the Altaira(s) were removed, and folks immediately demanded the Altaira be put...
