In the 1970’s we had TV commercials featuring TV’s. The commentators would actually stand there next to the new TV showing us how great the picture looked- on our TV that we were watching. Never understood that one either.
Why on earth?
Answer me this: On You-Tube, there are endless of reviews, comparisons, and demos of equipment played in the creators room, recorded by a mic and published as if we could hear anything relevant considering we are listening to OUR stereo! Some of these have high play counts. Does anyone think they could hear differences in an amp or DAC picked up by some unknown mic, A2D, post processing and played back on their HT? Are we really that stupid?
