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.

@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."

If you can speak Spanish, Padro is one of my favorite reviewers on YOUTUBE! Some of his reviews are in English. I also like Sean from ZERO FIDELITY! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfnn_U5EsHmwnb7EdJug4Yg/videos |
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... |
