Who Are the Biggest Audio Reviewers on Youtube
"Nosotros've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times.
People fighting over little things and wasting precious time.
They might be ameliorate off I think the manner it seems to me.
Making upwards their own shows, which might be better than T.V."
— "Found a Job" by Talking Heads
New people. If my work equally a professional person audiophile has one unwritten goal it is to reach new people. The Darko.Audio YouTube aqueduct turned two final calendar month and alongside our fast-growing podcast, information technology has helped me reach an audience that lives beyond the audiophile ghetto — that's doubly important since the Coronavirus pandemic iced the audio show circuit.
Publications with far greater mainstream achieve than my ain are starting to take notice. Last year, the Schiit Modi 3 video was featured by YouTube megastar Jonathan Morrison. Earlier this twelvemonth WIRED magazine took a swing and a miss at quoting (see higher up) the 'CD'southward non dead yet' video. Fortunately, the WIRED editorial staff were swift to publish a correction – that my comments on CDs weren't specific to the format but a CD player. They also invited me to suggest a feature article topic that I might pen for them. Corona kicked that ball into bear upon.
Two weeks ago, WIRED were in affect again. Would I permit them to feature ane of my videos in a piece about their favourite YouTube channels? You bet I would: WIRED's 'thirteen YouTube Channels We Geek Out Over' went live on Fri. To be placed aslope Murphy Jet's wide-eyed enthusiasm for camera gear and The Global Cycling Network by one of the United states'southward most-read tech magazines is an accolade indeed. Hi, more new people!
Plenty with the self-congratulation. Time to pay it forward. Hither are 5 YouTube channels that I like to geek out over:
Pursuit Perfect Organisation
You'll frequently see Terry Ellis at audio shows wearing a trunk harness that straps a full-size camera, a pair of microphones and Audeze headphones to his chest. With this rig, Ellis captures the visual and aural essence of show demos. At home in his fully treated listening room, Ellis recordings tease out aural differences between different hardware configurations; the deltas are enough to make me sometimes question my ain hard-line opinion on the unreliability of YouTube-based hello-fi demos. That Ellis is gentlemanly plenty to let us agree to disagree speaks to the man'southward grapheme as one of the to the lowest degree cynical, least ego-driven members of the reviewer community. Recently, Ellis Eastender kicked his day job to the curb to make PPS his full-fourth dimension job. More power to him.
Currawong
Amos Barnett (aka Currawong) is an Australian living in Fukuoka and a staple of the Japanese headphone scene. The human's Head-Fi.org-hosted written coverage of Japanese headphone shows dates back years. Barnett's all-encompassing easily-on experience with numerous headphones, headphone amplifiers, DACs and portable players (often seen in the background of his YouTube videos) speaks volumes almost his dedication to the art and science of headphone listening. The homo'southward video coverage of headphones, portable audio gear is thorough and well-considered. Barnett isn't ane to get drunkard on forum hype and he never lets his enthusiasm spill over into hyperbole.
Techmoan
Mat Taylor's 'Retro-tech documentaries' are some of the nigh informative on YouTube and reverse to the channel name, the narratives are annihilation just negative. Every bit Techmoan, Taylor looks at outmoded audio engineering through a modern lens and, of course, with the benefit of hindsight. This is my goto channel when I want to grab upwardly on the effectively points of DAT, minidisc, cassette tapes, reel to reel, viii-track and laserdisc — sound technologies that predate my 2010 entry into the hullo-fi gear review field.
Michael Borzenkov
"Неортодоксальный видеоблог о музыке, технике и выпивке от главреда журналов Stereo&Video и What Hi-Fi?". Russian speakers volition be one step alee of Google Translate'due south rewriting of Borzenkov's YouTube 'Almost' bio – "Unorthodox video blog nigh music, applied science and drinking from the editor-in-chief of Stereo & Video and What Howdy-Fi magazines" – only you don't have to sympathize Russian to know that Borzenkov's enthusiastic take on hi-fi gear is infectious. I watch his videos to remind myself of the potency of body linguistic communication and tone of voice when talking about high-performance audio gear on camera. Also: drinking?
Camera Conspiracies
YouTube and camera review channels are a mitt-in-glove fit and whilst many of the bigger channels' exhaustive coverage or the camera earth pull in substantial subscriber numbers, they often feel a little as well samey and self-important. Enter Canadian Kasey Stern whose Photographic camera Conspiracies channel is infused with a good for you dose self-deprecation. At that place's plenty of tech info on offer just the never-ending pursuit of the perfect camera provides the perfect platform for Stern's Monty Python-esque humor: the Canon Cripple Hammer, 'Loser' photographers and, more recently, a 1-time joke video near Tony Northrup'due south indiscriminate utilize of bokeh that has subsequently seen Stern consistently refer to his ain aperture settings as 'Toneh'. The hullo-fi world needs a channel similar Photographic camera Conspiracies — where all we desire is the perfect stereooooooo.
