Top 5 Most Influential Companies in 2021

"and one of the Chinese Dacs (RME?)"     RME is a German company.   The adi 2 DAC is made in Germany.... it walks all over those Chinese DACs

This thread is going nowhere….FAST!!!

@yuviarora  HA! you stole my thunder.

As I follow the big 5 Youtube Reviewers it is more apparent

every year that payola is alive and well.

@chorus Who dat?

Yes, CNN.

2 of their senior producers just got arrested for diddling kids.

Their 2 top anchors have been reliably accused of sexual assaults, one is already fired. 

It has to be CNN.

“Other Suggestions?”

CNN

Wow, Thanks! I had no idea where this was going

but this is really interesting. 

-Per Who is Per Me. Now other people will have other directions.

I was actually thinking companies influential in the Audio World

although the WHO would qualify.

The five I mention are  heavy promoters anxious to

up their brand and believe that a large presence will

generate sales and credibility.

As I follow the big 5 Youtube Reviewers it is more apparent

every year that payola is alive and well.

1. HGTV
2. Wayfair
3. Amazon
4. Homedepot
5. Craigslist  

      Notice any pattern?

Ditto this one; It's Pfizer.

@czarivey  Only because you said "correct me if I'm wrong".  It's AstraZeneca🤣

Sorry czarivey,

I'd put Moderna #2. More efficacious.

If this is about moving the needle in audio, I'd have Schiit on my list. I'm not a fanboy, but they are really unavoidable. 

Also:

Emotiva

and one of the Chinese Dacs (RME?)

Brands like MBL, Magico don't make the list. Their expensive stuff turn people on, but they're outliers. 

MAGIO,ROCKPORT,TIDAL,MBLand VIMBERG jump on them ASAP!!

That took a very nice turn.

@czarivey 

100% correct my friend.

1. WHO

2. Phizer

3. Moderna

4. Johnson&Johnson
5. AstraGenica

Correct me if I'm wrong ...

After reading the title, my thoughts went immediately to the other end of the supply chain:

Apple

Spotify

The Big 3 record companies

• Sony BMG
• Universal Music Group
• Warner Music Group

These labels can make up almost 80% of the music market or even more—depending on the year.

In the high end vinyl corner, Chad Kessem is more powerful than Musk & Bezos combined.

Yes per who?

I have my own list too if that’s what we’re doing here.

Per Who ?        

if there is a source, should maybe include it .
