Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos


Ok, I have complete respect for John Darko and the amount of work and professionalism he invests in his craft. But if I see another video or comment where he brings up "It's one's right to spend what one sees fit on gear, etc," I am going to scream. Yes, WE GET IT, John! No need to keep kicking this horse, which has been dead for literally 3 years.

Darko and Andrew Robinson probably attract the highest volume of new blood to audiophilia on YouTube (initial gateway).

You probably need to make such statements constantly with the fresh blood...they all start out very suspicious about spending, in general..

You do realize Jay Iyagi is a kid, right? I doubt he had even turned 20 when he started his channel.

Here's an old video where he's trying to articulate the difference in sound signatures of 2 speakers...not bad for a kid actually. I used to have a double impact sometime ago ( know what he's trying to get at).

Jay Iyagi and that Zero Fidelity dude are the guys i trust, when they're trying to articulate/describe the sound signature of something....and yeah, if some kid wants to clickbait a bit, i'll forgive him, whatever...

There are some other reviewer clowns who try to describe the sound of an amp, but, essentially he's describing the sound of a speaker, yada yada...you'd be lost if you listened to some chaos clowns.

 

I used to like Jay of Jay's Iyagi but he's turned very much to clickbait titles and a bit of plumping for audio stuff that has turned me off.

A student in North America starts grad school around age 22 (if going right into it after 4-ish years of undergrad). Guy wouldn’t have turned 20 yet when his channel started 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe he got hired on to move boxes at the high end audio store as a young whippersnapper.

I briefly ran into/was talking to his buddy at a show...the Indian guy who shows up on some of his videos a few years ago.

 

Um, I believe he’s well into his 20’s and is a graduate student at least after having spent years learning in high end audio shop. So, that’s not a "kid" in my book, in terms of chronological age, education, or experience in audio. So your point has gone missing for me...
