Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down


Not sure why except he says he’s getting a bigger building somewhere.

I enjoy Jay's videos because he gives us a close look at some really great equipment that we don't always see on YouTube. It seems the channels are endless that show $300 amps, but not many at the ultra high end. Even thought I'm not in the market for $200k speakers or $150k amps, I find it interesting and he has some decent deals on used gear.

I don't know what his deal is with manufacturers, but I've heard him point out negative aspects of some of this equipment, something you won't often find from the mags or most YouTubers. I discount Jay's subjective opinions, but I do that with most reviewers-no one can tell you what will sound the best to your ears.

I rate Jay several notches above Huff in credibility, but I'm not in to communing with the dead-if that's your thing, all the power to you. 

So, good luck to Jay.

I have always enjoyed his reviews, I wish him success and hope he is back online soon. Good luck Jay, please keep doing what your doing for our community........

I watched a few of his videos.  For me, not that it matters, the whole thing doesn't add up. He has 36K subscribers and most of his videos get a minimal number of views (5K-25K).  I think it's reasonably safe to say he's not making lunch money (once a month) from direct youtube income. It's hard to believe that viewership is driving deep discounts on gear such that he can support his habit and a family, a house...

I have nothing against the guy. I wish him well in whatever he decides to take on.  I just don't see a successful business model given the face value of the info he offers.  (..and I worked for a fortune 500 company for my career..unless you're a VP or senior Director in HR, the pay is miserable, relative to other non-HR positions/divisions..so he didn't make a fortune there, at his age)

I hope he does well..whatever it is..he's a mystery to me though.

i watched some. he and his gear exist in a world i dont, and  i didnt like watching/listening.
