The CheapAudioMan Hypocrisy Continues
มุมมอง 13K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
Once again we are told one thing by Randy @cheapaudioman only to be sold another thing reflecting the EXACT opposite of what he told us was a lie before. Lots of people shill products on TH-cam, but in the world of audio, Randy seemingly doesn't know how to keep his own idiocy from interfering with what he is shilling. Luckily, the second biggest shill in audio (me), is here to call him out.

    Glad someone called him out. I used to watch his videos but soon felt that he was pushing some brands over and over again. There are few honest, reliable reviewers but many are here for the revenue. Another twat is Jay Iyagi. When it comes to this hobby, I trust my ears more than anyone out there. If it sounds good, I go with it.

    Speakers, being transducers, are changing electrical energy into kinetic energy. It makes sense that this is where things could much more easily wrong, and hence the added emphasis on them in a system.

    I use a mixture of distilled water and Simple Green cleaner mixed at 70/30. Start with the water only first to rinse, dry with a microfiber towel, then spray with the mixture, towel dry again, finish with distilled water, let sit to dry. Cheap and works great !! And while on the subject of cleaning... use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser to clean your stylus. Just move the tone arm up and down 3 or 4 times, letting the stylus pierce the clean eraser. I watched a video that showed how this works under a microscope and it really was magic.

    Owned a FiiO headphone DAC/ Amp once. After a year, the amp started to crackle, so I kept using the DAC and connected it to a JDS Labs amp. Sweet sweet upgrade. Another year passed and the FiiO needed rebooting every 20 minutes or so. Replaced it with a JDS Labs DAC. Sweet sweet upgrade. I'm not sorry I bought the FiiO, even though it was unreliable. It was part of my path to JDS Labs and I'm very happy.

    Well, given the findings...and the fact I just can't ware IEM's they bother me...they sound great fantastic even...however stuff in my ears is just too annoying. And so, that I won't have to do the cable dance works well for me. Now I just have to decide on is it the K11 or Geshelli Labs... J2 with minor mod option or. Yes, one is way more expensive that's a given its the overall offering and the potential for the illusive quality of Air. And excellent review...

      @@scientificaudiophile Thank you for proving my point. Andrew was clearly calling out Danny. Danny's response video was excellent. Andrew gets paid an affiliate fee every time someone buys a speaker through his links. He's not going to say a speaker has issues, that would cut into his income. Also, your assumptions about Elac that a more expensive speaker would have a better crossover isn't how it works. Danny has very detailed videos explaining why that leaves you in the same situation even after spending more money. th-cam.com/video/kSOlxLvSR58/w-d-xo.html
