John, You donāt know me! You donāt have a clue as to what I like, Geezzzz! We DONāT even like similar music! BUT, I really really like what you do and how you do it. Thanks so much for being YOU! Much love for our similarities! LOL The Joy of music. Keep up the good stuff you do. ā¤ļø

Been watching for about 18 months. Originally it was just a channel amongst many that I watched / listened to. Over time it has become one I seek out through the subscription button. Why? Because 1) the content is regularly something I am interested in; and 2) I discover more music from someone whose taste is not a million miles from my own. Thank you John. Really appreciate your efforts with the channel.
|
Above all I appreciate your insistence of having good video quality. Makes your presentation much more immersive. Keep sharing your insights as you do. You have a great product in a crowded field where differentiation is the trick to gaining and retaining viewers. Thanks, John.
|
Have been binge watching videos after videos on your channel for the past 2 hours. Love your presentation style and the production value of your videos. Subscribed!
|
Good work again John. Keep doing exactly what you do and delineating how you approach it and why, so well. I learn and enjoy, each and every time I see you
|
John this is what I like about you, You are up front and have been since day one. You have what you do and don't do many times so the people who have subscribed to you for a while know this. Keep being yourself and true to yourself and what you do. I like your prospective, it's real and you come across the same way. I like both your channel and your website and I wish you much success in 2020 and thanks again for the prospective. I'm open to new music and John has made this possible and probably music that I wouldn't have known about or listen to.
|
Hi John, after watching your channel for a number of years I finally watched this video. Excellent and fully appreciate your views and position. Keep on with the great videos and I look forward to watching more. Great explanation, BTW. Cheers Tony
|
Sometimes with patience and humor we must clearly state who we are and who we are not. I think you walked a perfect line here.

I became a complete Roon convert after watching this channel. Rocking a ROCK (or in essence, a MOCK) - and not looking back. This and the Audiophiliac are my two YouTube sources for inspiration. Keep up the good work!
|
I really love your channel, John. Just keep it going the way you see fit cause it is working!! On a side note as well, excellent Video quality. Camera work is exceptional.
|
John, I love the way you laid that out!

One of the reasons I've gravitated to your channel is that you discuss the performance of gear when playing more challenging 80s recordings. Anyone with an extensive collection of punk/post-punk/new wave etc. recordings surely knows that the struggle is real.

I get it, always did. Especially love watching on the big screen though the sound system, and the way it goes from informative discussion to room filling high quality music. And the production levels, filming, editing etc, congrats to the Team.
|
That was amazingly well thought out, and I'm surprised to find that your channel is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you.
|
John, your vids are a joy to watch. I'll figure it all out by myself but your contribution is real... keep it up and keep those vids coming...
|
Hi John. As a Jazz and Classical musician (Bass Trombone!), I still get much from your videos! The budget parameters are those of my own equipment, and purchases I'm contemplating, . so keep up the good work. Indeed I thoroughly enjoy much of the background music to your videos, and to that end I will be looking at the information you provide. One comment I, and many like me would mention, is the definition of sound - separation of instruments, and enough definition to be able to hear the difference between a bass guitar, and a string bass, for example. I appreciate very much when your comments relate to this aspect! I will continue to listen, even if you don't play Stravinsky!
|
Congratulations on the second anniversary. Great channel and impressive subscriber figures too. I always click immediately when I see a new video š
|
Thanks John, for doing these videos! In fact, I purchased the Schiit Audio Modi 3 DAC based on the video you did regarding this component. It sounds so good in my system that I am having a difficult time justifying spending more - seriously! I like how you do these videos and I find them interesting, even if I have no intention of purchasing what piece you are reviewing.
|
The start of your video tells it all and shows clearly the reason why I follow your channel. Weāre not talking about āthe bestā, we talk about good gear, about opinions and points of your. These are things that we can share, diffuse, compare. Everyoneās out for the absolute best of the best. I think sometimes starting with good things, discovering your own preferences is way better than spending a life in search of the best. Thank you for the job you share and the great contribution you give to the audiophile community John

Hi John, good to see you back in 2020. As someone who went shopping last year for my full system replacement since 1996, I enjoyed listening to your reviews and perspective. I live in an isolated part of New Zealand and just don't have access to audition, let alone AB test any gear. Your descriptions of what items sound like are vivid and fun so thanks for that, keep it up.
