For me moral plays the largest role in how I feel about these talking salesmen on youtube.
Of course. But the reason people are worked up at Robinson here is that he offers no actual proof of his conjectures. He influences people, so that matters.
Around here, you get called out if you say dumb stuff.
My opinion: they're your ears, listen to what you like. Just don't tell us it's high fidelity once it has passed through a distortion box
Damn! Darn webcam. *Going to get the electrical tape in the shed.

I had to send back an Arylic A50+ because of a very noticeable hiss. The Loxjie A30 in comparison does not have that hiss. So some cheap amplifiers do have problems. Ironically the A50 (predecessor of the A50+, with apparently the same hiss problem) is what that video channel had been recommending to their viewers.
What's wrong with watching Andrew Robinson?Why would anyone on ASR watch something from Andrew Robinson to begin with?
You should think twice about the YouTubers to watch instead.
Why? If the amp is powerful enough it should be a fine match. Are you saying that people who buy $2000 speakers only buy $2000 amps? I don't think their ability scales the same.
It's a commonly held belief reinforced by the industry that you can't match cheap with expensive regardless of the actual capabilities of the units in question.
and it's the same logic they use to persuade people to buy expensive wire for expensive fixtures, even though any electrician's wire of adequate gauge would do the job
Slight hiss is normal. With sensitive speakers its common to hear hiss like 30cm from the tweeter. High pitched noise (more like a constant tone than just "grain") on the other hand means something is wrong. Also, a clearly heard noise from the amp itself, unless it has a toroid which may hum a bit, is not normal. But again, slight hum is very different from shrill noise.
