The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?


This 15 minutes of youtube video by "cheapaudioman" say a lot and hide a lot...

He review low cost products ...

His analysis of audiophiles world here seems fair to me...

But nowhere in all his videos and in this one  he mention "acoustics" as the basis of audio hobby, the anker of any system  and gear piece  evaluation and satisfaction...

He  always talk about the gear... Probably acoustics for him as for most is only acoustics panels purchase...

My point is not that the audio world of audiophile is a scam with scammers...

Not at all.

It is ignorance  of what is acoustics basics that makes people victim of their own decisions  and a potential prey for honest or dishonest sellers..

I just think he’s ignorant.

I think audioman is ignorant and it is why i posted this video...

But i think all of those attacking his character are as ignorant as he is and miss completely my point about acoustics as most audiophiles and reviewers occupied only by  the promotion of their gear against the others by virtue of their "tastes" or pricing...

By the way it takes years and years before Jay who tested 400 hundred top high end amplifier adress the acoustics relation between speakers and room... he did it after many years... at least he spoke about it a bit unlike cheapaudioman...But it say a lot about acoustics complete ignorance in audio. Most think acoustics is room acoustic at best...

 

Acoustics rule...( not just room acoustic but psycho-acoustics and physical acoustics (Helmholtz resonators etc )

I used to like his reviews of low cost gear...but he now is so insulting and condescending and accusatory...changes everything 

Will the audiophile/audiophool demarcation line  ever be "defined?"

I think...NOT!

I see what Mahgister was implying. The reviewer is selectively ignorant - like the dog who did not bark in the night?? Or if that isn't what you mean, it is what I mean.
