You're a top man...thanks for this outstanding video, once again...useful and really well done!! Thanks so so much.

I am following Anadialog for years now but I believe I never wrote you a line which in fact is very unpolite but it also means that I try to save you from one more stupid comment. However, In my humble opinion, there is a great Hi-fi site and monthly magazine that I follow for more than 30 years now and which I believe to be the most reliable of them all. I noticed you have not mentioned it. Did you forget to mention it? Have you never picked its monthly mag at a newsstand? Free from pressures, independent and technically and theoretically prepared Hi-Fi World is, in my opinion, absolutely independent in their opinions are most helpful in many many ways. Keep up your exceptional work!!! Best regards, Mario Tulio (not Italy but, Portugal indeed)

Nice content as always, thanks ANA.

Brilliant, I’m just starting with buying a system so this will be so useful, thanks so much!

Great information. Thanks!

Nice one, tks for your work!

Thank you, chapeau to.your channel. Your pronounciation is great ... and your voice is VERY good to understand! Great and well done! Regards from Cologne Germany Hans

Always enjoy your videos, I have only recently started watching your videos, I don't know if you have done one on the best quality inner sleeves for vinyl records, if you haven't as yet, please do one, I am very interested in this topic. Thanks and regards.

Thanks for your videos! I would add Vinyl Engine and HiFi Engine : access to many many manuals, dedicated forums, databases.

I miss those Hi Fi shops on the streets walking around . We have Richer Sounds in the UK but its all TVs now . Second hand stores are busy so thats good but thats me

Great job here, I use most of the sites that you mentioned, but you forgot to mention a huge one unless I missed it and that is Audiogon, they have a huge used audio base and forum base and some records are sold on the forum. Dealers use it to sell their wares and sometimes at reduced prices. I have bought from here and the products are as described and Audiogon rating system for used components is very strict. Very good information and great channel.

I liked your sense of humor

I have a question regarding earbuds. What should I look for in buying a good pair of earbuds? What earbuds would you recommend?

Remembering me Jeff Porcaro! Even the title track seems different ;)

Hello, Another great video! This is George, from the former "analog Guy"! I changed my channel name and photo! Been a fan ever since you came online with "ana[dia]log"!

Are they reliable because am always believed in (WHAT HIFI) But now I find a bit mix reviews for now. But i think is not as good as use to be!!!

A great place for buying new vinyl is Soundstage Direct. They offer great deals such as 10%, 20%, & even 25% off vinyl at certain times plus free shipping on any order over $50. When I buy multiple records at a time, I’ll order say 3 LP’s that average out to aprox $20 each + the free shipping. That’s a bargain considering the prices of records these days. They also have a large amount of gear too, but mostly expensive hi end stuff, but also some somewhat affordable gear, accessories, etc.

They put a group of hi-fi vendors, reviewers and bloggers like Tyll Herstens on a table at one of the shows a couple of years back and ran a series of questions past them. One of the discussions was around system building, and every single person at that table agreed that the single worst way to build a system was to combine 'Recommended Components' from magazines and hope for the best. TAS and Stereophile cop so much criticism for their reviews and Stereophile's measurements but the eye candy is usually good. I tend to trawl various fora to see how a given audio addict's system has developed over time, but I know I cant just plug KEF speakers into a Marantz amplifier and expect magic simply because both got glowing reviews.

Okay. Let's think about that 22 dislikers. What could they possibly dislike about this helpful video?

If you‘d like to hear deviating opinions, go to Arthur Salvatore‘s „High End Audio“ or Peter Aczel‘s „The Audio Critic“ or Roman Beznov‘s „Thegoodsoundclub“ and if you want to have fun look for their correspondence with Michael Fremer. You‘ll love it.

what happens when we convert ACC file to FLAC file when. And if 16 bit 44.1khz is CD quality and 24 bit 192khz is hi-res sound than what is 24 bit 44.1khz sound..??

One more question.. If true hi-res song is 24bit 192khz but hi-res earphone is 40khz.. So way we using 40khz earphone. I think we need 192khz earphone.. Sorry for my bad english..😣

Worth to mention the audio-Markt.de in Europe which is one of the oldest site for used equipments and distributors often like to put on their exdisplay gears too. Check it out. 🤩

Hello again, the problem with Hi Fi magazines, is they give the best reviews to the company's who spend the most on advertising with them, I've had first hand experience with this, anyway another great video👍

It's not hard to find out about good equipment. What is nearly impossible is to find out about price/value. As an example a recommended amp cost $8000. there may be an amp for $2000. that 98% of people could not tell the difference between. You will never hear that story. I've been considering upgrading some of my components but I'm nearly frozen because I'm not willing to spend 5 to 10 times more to get a marginal improvement. Ad based magazines are worthless in this regard.

Michael fremer is a god, if there was such a thing lol, I totally respect, everything he says & his system is to die for, although he could soften his stance on digital a bit.

ANA[DIA]LOG is a Whistleblower!

Michael Fremer has compared his Caliburn Continuum to the Technics SL-1200G and the differences are extremely small. Also a student has made an analytic comparison by means of an oscilloscope, found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKt3nZmaztOZZ6s.html What are your thoughts about that comparison?

What about (WHAT HIFI) ?!!

Buying Guide for high quality sound; Screw HiFi market speakers (due to typical dynamic response) www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/mm5/graphics/wavecor/wf132tu01/WF138WA01-SPL-_-IMP.png Rather go for studio reference monitors or smaller PA fullranges (same store as guitars), whom both are aimed for linear sound reproduction over the entire frequence spectre opposed to Hifi speakers that most always proves (by spectrum analysis, not made up opinion) aiming to please in small package by strained overexaggerated bass, overrepresented tweet and lacking body between. Linear sound graph optimation just cant be beat. kb.inmusicbrands.com/media/images/FREQ2.jpg For LFE, preferably go for 15-18 inch+ PA subs for their stiff mounts as they give a non lag, highly precise play and proper punch. Such large sizes in these are usually needed for good frequence depth. For smaller subs, go for HiFi elements with big stroke length as they can play quite deep despite their smaller sizes. Avoid big HiFi subs, as they most often only serves as rumblers (good for home theater and neighbour torture, little else). For crossover, go for an active unit with redirection option of full split to avoid overlapping reproductions between fulltone and LFE, that without would cause overrepresented dynamic graphs at meeting point as usual home midway appliance malpractice is. With full crossover redirection, your sub will fully relieve your fulltones the strain of playing what they are able to rather than do what they really are good at; Mid to high frequence spectre. Goes no matter which front speakers you may have. (Ideal,see blue line LR2 sum in comparison pic; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkwitz%E2%80%93Riley_filter ) As far as the cable mystery go, it depends on two fact factors; Lead Resistance (resistance X mm2/lenght) and proper Shielding. No gold or any fancy sales retoric can change that ! Signal or amp-to-speaker vise. Fact is that a meter of 2 gauge copper leads electricity way better than any 1 gauge gold, or any other material available for earthbound mortals. Just buy some good thick gut of high copper purity with some high quality interference shielding (top shelf professional microphone cable as ex for signal is better than most for 1$ pr meter if bought on spool), good terminals (Neutrik´s or Monster´s are Kings!), learn to solder properly and rather spend your bulk money on good sourceplayers, preamps, poweramps, speakers, crossovers, room textiles for acoustic dampening, more music and beer. ...And Cashews !

I give a F@** to the equipment! First thing that has Effect are the Speakers. They have to be OK, and all other Gear comes afterwards. Then we have to try and error ;-)

Whe i see expensive cables and accessories, i go out immediately, i cant trust

HiFi Shark, seriously? All the listings are from Ebay. No way, I buy direct from a brick and mortar store that's in the business of restoration. Luckily I have one located not too far away. I want to see it, touch it and hear it before I buy.

How bout 6MOONS.
