Such an arrogant response to a valid criticism. I've been professionally involved in audio since 1990.
Perhaps YouTube audio influencing is a new market segment for you.

No, why would I?Have you ever recorded your own system and played it back? How representative was your recording?
No, why would I?
I have been in rooms where recordings were made and posted on line so I have experience. The videos posted do not convey what I heard in those rooms. I see no need to do so with my room. I am there to listen, not make videos.
You are being argumentative just for the sake of argument. My point is a simple one. I have been in rooms at homes and have heard recordings with a mic and computer, or iPad or phone etc. made in that room and have found them not to convey fully what I heard in the room. Same with show recordings, I just do not find them useful in judging equipment.
By all means Carlos, use whatever you want in deciding on what gear to buy.
Bingo. The audio stores and manufacturers don't want people to know the truth (all hi-fi sounds unnatural and only audiophiles can like it). The stores want people to visit their stores. The manufacturers don't want to people to compare audio sounds in online because manufacturers know their sounds bad since shoppers listen to their wives who know almost all audio sounds bad.Perhaps YouTube audio influencing is a new market segment for you.

The performance matters. Who has the best sound that every body like?If one is small manufacturer, then I guess it is easier to have this view than it is to compete with more successful brands and beat them on performance and service.
I think that the keyword there is “fully”. No sane person is expecting a video to “fully” reproduce the sound “in the room”.
I'm all for a good conspiracy theory, how about this one, it's the evil record companies that have been denying access to quality recordings since the advent of CD and they don't want folks hearing what a good recording can sound like via YouTube.Bingo.

And make a few bucks in the process ! Always be careful with people proclaiming their own innocence or honesty !"YouTube videos will never capture everything that is happening in the room regardless of how much money you spend on microphone set ups.
My journey is about sharing my HANDS-ON experience AND ownership of the ultra high end.
A system is designed around what you prefer and not what your buddies wish for. There are no absolutes in this hobby hence the reason why we have so many options available to us.
Wilson Audio, Focal, Magico, Gryphon , Boulder, etc. are all brands that manufacture quality components.
There is no better way to understand what a component does than to actually live with it.
No show or YouTube video will teach you the ultimate expression of a component.
I don't claim to be an expert at anything, but I am certainly wiser about this hobby each day I roll out of bed.
I don't hate nor do I have beef with anyone. I am simply an honest man trying to follow his passion and share it with the world.

Ron , Don't you get the invites to the secret meetings? Do you know the secret handshake? Do you have the decoder ring?What conspiracy theory is this?
