It's new, this is his 2nd video.

Well that explains it

Spent the last few weeks getting my video system, lighting, etc. all done.

Just by looking at this interview, I’d suggest changing the lightbulbs in the vicinity to Daylight (5000K), makes the videos look much nicer.

I actually changed every single lightbulb in and outside our house to Daylight, and I love it, especially for the kitchen. I never got the comments of people saying it’s cold feeling, it’s the same color (in fact, actually warmer) than if I opened the blinds on the windows during the day.

 

[Matias]

Great interview btw, thanks a lot for that!

It's the warm, golden-eared look.

Well done Amir; everbody needs to embrace the video platform eventually imo. (unless you have previously done videos, then apologies). The "yout's" aren't reading forums as much today.

That I am! I debated what to wear and just don't like the look of giant headphones on my head. The Sony's did the job very well as I completely forgot I had them on. We actually spent almost an hour dealing with technical issues so all in all, it was 3 hours of use and that was the headphone for the job.

Well, those are ornamental accent lights on the side wall. There is a large array of ceiling lights with much cooler temps that provide regular lighting. For my face, I had a large panel light with proper color temp. I could make it brighter but then it would cause too much eye strain.

But yes, the color temp was pretty wrong for the background so I may have to break down and change the accent light, or use aux lighting for video.

Doesn't the title have to start with "One weird trick..."?

 

[HionHiFi]

mmmm... now I'm wondering who was Number One...?
(scientific curiosity, don't you know?)

The first video is an introduction video. Amir was my first interview. I have others lined.

Thanks Amir for being brave enough to be my guinea pig.

Yeh, no doubt about it. I myself watch a ton of reviews online as I go to bed.

Should have gone retro and wore a pair of big Sony Boodoo Khan headphones!

Best warning sticker on headphones ever.

Hahahhahahahaa, it also might have read “So called “Audiophile” claims Measurements Tell Us Everything We Need to Know About Sound Quality...Goes on to say “Throw Away Your Tube Amplifiers!” Or something like that.

It sure would create a ton of traffic! To do it right, I would have to leave out the names and really force them to click! Man am I tired of "5 things you need to know...." clickbaits....

 

[mhardy6647]

The very existence of this site (ASR, that is) creates "a ton of traffic!"

... now I do have to watch the video!
(after dinner tonight!)

Thanks @HionHiFi !

 

[BDWoody]

Nicely done to you both!

I'm interested in the replies. You are certainly controversial in the audio world, so great choice for Thomas for a first interview.

Before your post...

“Ummm , what will my next YouTube video be about??? "5 things you need to know about Audiophiles.”

After your post...
“My next YouTube video will be about.... "Top 10 Lies in Audio.”

It’s been brilliantly done before by Peter Aczel in his The Audio Critic publications. I hope I can honor his work while offering a fresh take on the topic and package the content for a new generation of Audiophile who prefer video to the written word. Hopefully, I can play a teeny, tiny part in the fight for credibility by focusing on science instead of the ridiculous claims charlatans in the marketing departments of audio companies.

 

[restorer-john]

@amirm , surely you have a pair of Sony MDR-R10s in the attic someplace from your Sony days, you could have worn instead of those $9 things?

The KING of headphones.

PS. Great interview BTW.

BDWoody,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for watching the video.

I hope to bring on other objective based Audiophiles with great stories to tell, entertain, and just shoot the shit. If things go well, maybe I’ll attract subjective Audiophiles with well reasoned arguments (is there such a thing in this situation) to have a moderated debate with an Objective Audiophile. Would that be cool?
