#1 isn’t bad, but it is all downhill from there.
Why can't he print them out so I don't have to sit through this?
Sometimes it's mildly amusing.Why do people care what the man has to say ?

I do and I didn't. Can someone who did please list the "rules" for our amusement and ridicule?Why did you sit through it? You knew better

Click the "open transcript" option, and pause the video, then just read the auto-generated transcript haha!Why can't he print them out so I don't have to sit through this?
He's got that professional youtuber banter on tap.Click the "open transcript" option, and pause the video, then just read the auto-generated transcript haha!
It's also very handy if there is a long lecture or presentation, and you are only interested in a particular topic--you can use the transcript feature and scan through it quickly, then use the timestamp to watch the relevant section only.

Thank you for your indefatigable service to the ASR community!1 - Experiment with speaker placement
Sure, but not exactly earth-shattering advice.
2 - Trust your ears not measurements.
Pretty much the usual audiophool take on measurements. Steve, none of us objectivists are looking at some good measurements, buying the speakers, and then subjecting ourselves to bad audio just because they measured good. The stuff that measures good ALSO happens to SOUND GOOD! Shocking!
3 - Vinyl (well, analog but you know) and Digital can both "move" you.
yeah, ok...whatever steve.
4 - er...just number 3 over again only from the opposite perspective. Both vinyl and digital recordings can "sound bad." Yeah. Obviously. Thanks Steve.
5 - Trust you ears...again. They are your ears. There's no right or wrong. No such thing as objectively good sound reproduction. Your ears are magic. Trust the magic ears since they never lie.
6 - No audio system can ever sound "real." True. But what they can sound like is the RECORDING of reality.
7 - Some rooms suck
8 - If your room sucks, get good headphones. I'm not entirely sure why this wasn't just the solution for rule 7 rather than an entirely separate rule but whatevs...
9 - size matters. big speakers win. I mean ok, I guess...but it's certainly arguable afaic.
10 - Have fun everybody!
I know Steve and I do know better than to endure his videos (or any one else's, btw).Why did you sit through it? You knew better
That is even more bother than listening with one ear.Click the "open transcript" option, and pause the video, then just read the auto-generated transcript haha!

I unsubd a while ago, around the time I found ASR. I used to listen to him and to Paul Mcgowan (and Z reviews…), and one day I just realized they were all talking out of their asses.Why do people care what the man has to say ?
