Good audio reviewers and ones to stay far far away from

Randy the cheapaudioman is awesome. I bought my speaker amp/dac from Zeosā€™s review and my speakers from Randy!

I donā€™t think I have agreed with a single thing this dude has said EVER. In fact, if says he hates something, Itā€™s pretty much a definite buy for me! LOL! Oh well, itā€™s like that sometimes.

Again, you gotta take all this opinion stuff with a grain of salt. Itā€™s just one personā€™s take. And they are not wrong just because I donā€™t agree with it. We just see things differently.

Yeaaah, thatā€™s pretty far from where Iā€™m at, I agree with most of his reviews of headphones Iā€™ve heard or general principles of what sounds good. In fact, just to walk things back a bit, thereā€™s this instance where I called him deaf :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: for saying the KSC75 are ā€œthe poor manā€™s HD600ā€, but as I found out more about the Sennies and where the 600 sits among them I came to see his point and deleted my comment. I guess with his practical experience he knows more than heā€™s explicitly telling sometimes.

Uncle Crinacle has started his YT channel up again and if you want good insight AND being entertained, then he is the one to listen to.

I like at lot of audio channels, but he is by far then one I prefer the most.

ā€œā€¦most gamers are only willing to pay, whatā€¦ $200 for a gaming headphone. Peasants.ā€

That is an understatement.

Most people could buy a pair of KSC75, a pair of KPH30i, a $30 headphone amp, an Apple DAC dongle, and walk away, but life is full of regrets.

God damn, is NTR (No Theme Reviews) not my cup of tea.

The dry narration feels so forced, unnatural, and scripted. Feels like one of those TV shows that have the narrator with the same narration style every episodeā€¦ Unbearable (imo).

This dude(Nemo Propaganda) seems pretty knowledgeable . Watched his SB-1000 pro review and actually managed to watch it until the end, which is rare for me with sub reviews.

Agreed :smiley: thatā€™s why I liked Passion for Sounds review of the Mest II which I posted on the Mest thread :+1:

What has he done that you would consider snake oil? Are you an ASR pure measurements guy because if youā€™re an Amir disciple I already know how this is going to go.

People got upset because he was reviewing cables and saying they made big differences to the sound. AFAIK thatā€™s the main bone of contention.

Are we talking about the Audioholics guy above? If we are I personally donā€™t see what he did or said that was so bad! ā€œMagicā€ cables are a hot topic, I know, and people will have strong opinions on that. But this guy simply drug out some premium cables and some not-so-premium stuff, measured them and produced his findings. Perhaps we are referring to someone else?

I was referring to the person who said Passion for Sound was a Passion for Snakeoil. He seems to have deleted his comment.

Oh, OK, gotcha! LOL! I kinda like Pasion for Sound. So far I have taken no exception to any of his work.
