Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?


I’d like to recognize that it takes a great set of self promotional skills to become successful in the Youtube world. That said most of the audio reviewers I’ve seen don’t have the experience to review, or the kind of space that would really allow gear to shine.

Most of them start of with K-Mart like gear, did their formula and got popular, and jumped far up the audio food chain. Of course everything they review is going to be great compared to the Service Merchandise system they sold last year.

Just throwing it out there that people should be careful listening to these guys that are mostly working for the views/money (not that some aren’t passionate).

Anyone else seeing this?

what i can say is i will never trust a you tube reviewer i will go to a dealer or trade show at least before i buy a speaker again 

 

these kind of purchases are highly subjective so when Ron at new record day recommended a open baffle loudspeaker i decided to give them a chance  luckily they had a return policy at my expense i might add the speakers  were so bad i couldn't believe it anyhow i learned a valuable lesson after that 

well just in case i didn't make myself clear i said i don't trust them not i don't like them and gave my input to go and listen for yourself it seems like good advice I've read about the toxic chat rooms on these forums and i believe it
