I like GR Research and any videos where you catch Anthony Grimani discussing room treatments are very helpful. Most of those guys need to use click bait to make money so wild claims, put downs, "everything is snake oil/rip offs" is a big theme to avoid.
You Tube channels
I recently watched a few audio YouTube channels.
I find YouTube channels helpful but they seem biased and it's not clear if they are independent. Not sure if many people watch them since views are kind of low.
Also watch where they compare sound and I have a tough time understanding why they compare Music between speakers or amplifiers so people can listen to on YouTube. Really crazy.
any good channels worth watching? I watched one the other day and they were criticizing another audio channel. They all seem to crank out lots of videos. And they say they don't make any money yet recommend you go to their website to buy products. Can they be trusted? They don't make any money off YouTube views that's for sure. And every week they got different products they offer and review.
seem like nice guys but I'm not sure if they are independent.
