Hifi On YouTube: Our Take

Have you ever stumbled upon a YouTube video showing off a piece of hifi gear, or perhaps an entire system? Knowing the limitations of such a lengthy and compromised signal chain as it relates to showcasing a fine-tuned stereo system, such a display can seem relatively useless for any meaningful understanding of what's going on.But is that completely true? The growing trend of showing off changes to a system or individual pieces of gear via video on YouTube is in part a response to a lack of hifi shows in our virus-dominated time, and also a nod toward a new way of approaching the audiophile hobby, one where the customer researches and learns about audio gear alone, from the comfort of his or her home.In this episode of the Hifi Podcast,  Darren and Duncan look at all sides of this phenomenon and try to understand both the value and caveats inherent to the practice.Also in this podcast, a listener shares a couple of great hifi tips, and when the guys reveal the album of the week, they discover more depth of meaning to the title of the record in question.
