I really enjoy watching Hi Fi related videos on YouTube. my favourites are: Techmoan ( he just fixed an old Pioneer cassette deck that I enjoyed very much. ) https://www.youtube.com/c/Techmoan John Darko https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnHDarko New Record Day https://www.youtube.com/c/Newrecordday2013 Steve Guttenberg Audiophiliac https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9wBmplRUhaCi-aNrkfgeTg HiViNyws https://www.youtube.com/c/HiViNywschannel Snazzy Labs Hi Fi system What are yours?
I came in here to post about how pretentious and insufferable New Record Day was and then I went and watched one of his new videos and found it to be not that any more. His older videos were him reading off a script and really playing it up, but his most recent videos seem much more natural in his delivery. So here's to a more "natural" delivery. As to my recommendation, I really enjoy the analytical and pragmatic nature of fellow Canadian Thomas & Stereo.
I enjoy his videos and wish him the best of luck for taking the leap to full time. They’re longer than I can usually watch, but I usually check out at least some of most of them. I like Darkos the best. Also watch most Guttenberg episodes. The PS Audio/Paul McGowan Q&A episodes have been fun and informative.
In addition to Zero Fidelity, John Darko and Steve Guttenberg, I’d add “Thomas & Stereo” and “A British Audiophile”.
I’ve enjoyed Tharbamar’s channel many times, particularly the sound demo videos. Also PS Audio’s channel is great, Paul is an awesome guy. And Analog Planet’s channel is an obvious one for the analog folks.
+1 Zero Fidelity. Sean has a wealth of experience with minimal BS and snobby attitude. I like his style.
Considering your country's troubles with YouTube presently, I'm surprised any Dane is actually recommending any channel on their site right now. I'll check a couple out, though...
Stereophile and Ken Micalef. Anything from Kendrick Sound (Japanese restorers of vintage JBL and Horn Speakers)
I will also add Z Reviews to this - though he mainly does entry-mid level gear. But his sound demos are extremely well recorded.
I'm not a huge fan of Giant JBLs (although I have a lot of respect for the UREIs that I used back in the studio days), but I really enjoy watching these Kenrick Sound videos from Japan. https://www.youtube.com/c/KenrickSound/featured
There is AnalogPlanet. Even though I completely disagree with his ideology, the factory and audio fair tours are very informative and his presentation is entertaining.
His demos are great but they way he describes sound is the same for every product "musical, accurate and engaging" My personal favs are Thomas & Stereo, NBT Studios and Darko Audio
This guy is a total knob and has nothing to say. It sounds like he recorded this with a Dayton Audio iMM-6. At least it's a good tune.
