Channel Title: THE EMPIRICAL AUDIOPHILE Channel Description: Welcome to the new Empirical Audiophile cannel on used top end stereo equipment. After 50-years of being an audiophile I thought I would give some information on just how new audiophile can have great equipment, yet without breaking the bank to do so. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it is out dated or doesn’t sound great. I most cases older equipment from high-end manufactures sound as good or better than the new equipment presented today to audiophiles but without the cost. You will find out from an aerospace mechanical engineer just what equipment is worth your time to audition, how good it’s made and can it be made better to meet today’s audiophiles needs. <video> Unison Research integrated tube amplifier:The New Simply 845 review. The empirical audiophile. Description: The new simply 845 ranks at the top of Unison Research's top of the line integrated Class A tube amplifiers second only to the historic Absolute 845. If you think your system can't get any better and you are using horns. Well, then think again. This intensifying review will tell you the truth about Class A amplification from Italy... It's better than you think. The great advantage of integrated amplifiers is the incorporation in a single chassis of the preamplifier and the power amplifier. This makes it possible to eliminate the need for high cost interconnect cables that are never truly neutral to the sound reproduction. It should be noted that in the renewed production of the simply 845 it size has been reduced by bringing all the input and output connectors, strictly gold-plated and of a new type to the rear of the amplifier.

Question number two: What was the first product you bought off a rave review and found out that it was not how they described it in sound quality, and it did not deliver. What a journalist claimed it would? Which product? JBL speakers’ example: Skunkie review. Question three: Do you remember the time when you realize there was a distinction between paid AUDIO journalist and actual audiophiles? Because if you haven’t, it’s time to. Question four: How many years of online research reading reviews, trying audio gear has it taking you to consider that you still may not know shit about system building? Do you know what your phase knob on your subwoofer is for? Question number five: Have you ever been prouder of your discount than you were about the actual results you get from the gear brought? Question number six: How many years have you been buying selling, buying selling, to still find out that you don't have audio Nirvana? 20-30 years and still are not there yet? The industry is designed so you keep buying and selling. It’s called the “AUDIO Journey.” Question number seven: At the last audio show you attended; what percentage of the rooms sounded like they were worth what they cost in dollars? In other words, is the system worth the amount of money that it cost to make it? You go to AUDIO shows to educate yourself not to listen to what other people tell you what you should be hearing. Question number eight: Do you ever hide your audio neuroses by saying” you’re into music”. Question number nine: What piece of ultra hi-fi elite audio world class level gear did you buy at half price that sucks ass? Example: It was it was it $50,000 piece and you thought you were so smart, and you were going to get such a good deal paying half price for it and you paid 25- grand, and it still completely sucked. Question number 10: If you could cure your audiophile OCD, if you could cover it with a hi-fi antidote that fulfill you 100% would you stop at all. Are, or you addicted to chasing your tail? </video> <video> The empirical audiophile Description: Can cryogenically freezing tubes and cables make them sound better?

It was nominated as the Absolute Sounds product of the year in 1994. The New Simply 845 was showing at the Chicago Axpona show making beautiful music with the Klipsch Cornwall speakers. </video> <video> The empirical audiophile Description: The empirical audiophile The FTC says you can't buy clout anymore. Bad news for companies, brands, and influencers buying and selling fake and misleading reviews. @SkunkieDesignsElectronics • 2w ago I gave a negative review on an amp a viewer sent me and data to back up my review. I was contacted by the manufacturer asking me to take it down. When I said no, they openly offered to GIVE me several of their multi thousand-dollar amps to take it down. When I said no and explained what was wrong with their product, they asked if they fixed the product, would I re-review it. I said "Sure", they fixed the main problems, I gave it a nice review. Then they threatened legal action for pointing out they fixed the problems the earlier version had and openly denied that they made any production changes, when I have a video SHOWING the changes they made. Bizarre! Oh, and this Amp was awarded "Amp of the year" by multiple other influencers. </video>
