Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos

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.

They’re all entertaining in their own way. I’m more interested if it’s going to be about a piece of gear of interest. Also New Record Day has been headed an interesting direction.

No?

@zarf New Record Day is smart and original but has little value, somehow he is not that informative. If I compiled a list of reviews to watch, he'd always be a runner up for gear X.

Personally, I’ve always enjoyed Johnny Darko’s audio reviews. Afterall, at the end of the day this is about entertainment.  Growing up in the 1960’s  our entertainment came from Television and Radio. In those days all signals were broadcast through the air to the receiver in your television or radio.  There were only 7 TV stations to choose from: three network, three independent and one public station. And a few dozen radio stations to choose from on either the AM or FM bands.

So the media had a much greater impact on the public because you had to watch or listen to one of these stations which had much larger audiences in those days.

Today these stations still exist, but have been largely displaced by Internet TV and radio as well as satellite based programming.  As such, the mainstream  media pie has been  sliced so thin that it no longer has the impact that it once did. Today, anyone with an Internet connection and an iPhone can become a media personality.  And those with talent can grow their viewership into millions of subscribers while having a major influence on their daily lives. Perhaps YouTube is the best example of providing a venue for this.  As the late Aldous Huxley once wrote: "It is a brave new world."
