Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube

Randy is fun to watch, I like him as more audio tongue in cheek entertainment, and I do watch a good deal of his videos. He’s kind of like my "Scrubs" of audio review shows. He’s a guilty pleasure that I do find humorous value in, and I know has an honest and genuine love of HiFi.

He’s not the first source that I go to when seriously considering equipment. I have however recently purchased my first product that he has reviewed himself personally. More coincidence than anything else, but now I can at least say I own something that he has given his opinion on, and I for the most part disagreed with him on it (Schiit Aegir vs Vidar). Maybe because I went the mono route with the Aegir, but I digress...

Again I like Randy... He’s great for people on a <$500 budget and I’m most impressed by his wealth of product reviews and his near encyclopedic memory when it comes to specs and speakers and such.

Also love when his kids come in and mess up his videos.

I think most of the people on this site have never heard cheap audio. If you had, you would be shocked at how good "mid-fi" has gotten in the last 20 years

There’s a reason he’s called the “cheap” audioman.  

"This gentleman has stirred up some controversy..."

What is the controversy that he has stirred up?

@musicpod 

That was more tongue-in-cheek on my part. I think the audio snobs out there believe he can't possibly have anything to offer the hifi enthusiasts or newbies with the caliber of equipment he chooses to review.

I think that could be considered a controversy.
