What’s your favourite Audio YouTuber?

I forgot all about JohnAudioTech.

 

[Newman]

I mean the words coming out of most people’s mouths is twaddle, I just choose to ignore it or be entertained by it.

I chose wisely.

 

[fuzzychaos]

I chose wisely.

Indeed.

 

[kongwee]

And what did you think? Now that we are on the subjective track.

Hm..., for my own part. I would have liked to have compared the three speakers. I do not know which I liked best of them, but it would have been fun to try.

A general tip. Compare speakers for a long time. By longer I mean months. Choose the ones you then listen to the most.

In hi fi show, you can hear all sort of stuff w/o intention to buy them. Not just show, many dealer in my country open to shop to let in people to listen to $100k speaker setup. I used to do that on weekends.

I forgot all about JohnAudioTech.

He is nice with his small tests and his small amplifiers. I see that others in the thread also tipped about his channel.

I think this can be a fun exercise for a non EE to do/build. Mostly to learn about how OP amps work.Advantage, powered by batteries so you do not have to be nervous to mix in power from the wall socket. Consists of an OP amp plus some resistors and capacitors:

By the way, this leads me to this channel, which I think is good:

 

[AnalogSteph]

There are a few I have missed. But I think that's the big audio related channels I watch.

That's quite the collection. There's a whole bunch that I didn't know yet, despite being subbed to 800+ channels...

Why Amir of ASR of Course!

My vote goes to Amir as well. For me, he is the king of reviews.

 

[Stuart]

After seeing his video with myth telling of v shaped fr from japanes amps, he is just another myth teller with no knowledge about electronics.

Just listened to one of his videos.
Just enough scientific sounding words to cover the usual audiophile rubbish.

How about Andrew Robinson? He likes all the speakers he reviews.

 

[Vacceo]

How about Andrew Robinson? He likes all the speakers he reviews.

I guess he likes to keep earning a living.

My late wife was pushing me hard to start doing videos. I resisted because I really don't like the genre. Now my daughter has taken up the idea.

Me: "Here's the problem: I don't have a great look, I don't have a good voice, and the room is a wreck."
Liz: "Well, you could put on a rubber clown nose?"

YouTube is hard when you have a face for radio and a voice for print.

FWIW, though, I think your content would be marvelous. My impression is that you've forgotten more about audio than most of us will ever know.

 

[Indy]

I do like Youthman. His reviews are pretty decent.

 

[Andysu]

How about Andrew Robinson? He likes all the speakers he reviews.

even 3" gr speakers .

 

[Chaconne]

I love watching—or at least listening to—iiWi Reviews, not for recommendations but for his amazing Dracula-like accent combined with his sincerity and his mastery of American English idioms. It often seems delightfully incongruous. I don't much care what he says as long as he just keeps talking.

i actually liked the guy. Maybe a bit arrogant and pretentious at times but good video quality and structure. But yesterday he posted a video which made me retroactively doubt everything he’s said so far. He actually paired a 102db sensitivity speaker with 200w monoblocks and wondered why it didn’t sound good… that’s an instance of cluelessness I didn’t really expect from a seasoned audio reviewer like him

Why should that be an issue, assuming the amp isn't pathological?

 

[Arianator26]

Why should that be an issue, assuming the amp isn't pathological?

Because it’s overkill. Those extremely high sensitivity speakers usually sound the best with a small tube like 8-10wpc. With a high power endpoint you completely lose control over your speaker and makes it sound bloated unclear especially in the bass.
