The most natural sound in the world.

I will get a lot of heat for my statement, but hearing is believing.

No need for any “heat”. 

We can only share what our actual experiences have yielded. It is going to no doubt vary from from one individual’s outcome to another’s results. Personally AC power quality and grounding have demonstrated their high degree of impact. I’m fortunate to have good room acoustics so it hasn’t been a major issue in “my” case.

Hi John,

In no way does this discussion cause hard feelings. As you mentioned earlier we far more often tend to agree than not. I was not suggesting that anyone who disagrees with my perspective can’t offer an opposing opinion. Not at all. I just meant if people find it silly or unproductive they can just choose not to listen to the videos. That’s all I meant.

As an aside, I really find the OP’s attitude a turn off. He presents his system and his methods as the best and only way to do things which is silly. There are many roads to the destination

Hi,

I definitely agree that there are many roads to a destination and have often expressed that perspective on this forum. I’ve made it pretty clear that I realize the blatant compromises listening via video/YouTube (how could one not concede this?). Despite these shortcomings I can hear distinct sonic/musical differences via this flawed approach. That’s my only point

There is an entire section on the WBF devoted to videos of audio components and systems. I get it. Everyone knows that listening to these presentations in person is a far superior experience. However some listeners do find worthwhile value with video clips (And certainly some do not).

For those who find this whole exercise/endeavor foolish and a waste of time, OK I understand. Just ignore and don’t participate.

Come on!!

Of course we have acknowledged it’s a YouTube video with its sonic limitations noted. Yes we get that!!!

Nontheless I can hear and appreciate the qualities I alluded to above. Mr. Armstrong and Miss Fitzgerald sound quite good regardless of the circumstances. Mr. Peterson on piano sounding quite fine as well. If others find this silly and a waste of time, OK that’s your prerogative and call. I get what @himiguel is doing under these compromised conditions. Can we just lighten up a bit sometimes?

I listened to this on your channel. Really captures the tone and feel of Sonny Rollin’s tenor saxophone. That drummer is on point for sure and realistically captured. That drumming reminds me of Ed Blackwell although I am certain that isn’t him on this recording.

Tripoint Audio presents Sonny Rollins a night at the “village vanguard”

Despite the obvious limitations of listening to music via YouTube there is a very nice natural tone and presentation that I can hear. BTW a wonderful interpretation of that jazz classic by Louis and Ella. Just lovely.
