While researching for a project, I came across a few really standout examples of sound on youtube. You'll see a theme.....

It's still youtube, but when you feed it a good source, it can sound better than expected. And it's the only way these performances are available.

Thanks for this post. I've got some new music to research/ enjoy.

A few years ago I started a YT playlist of quality songs. I never really added to it much though. Honestly, I don't listen "critically" anymore as I tend to fall asleep.

No doubt, some of you won't be able to click OFF some of them fast enough, as they're "worn out" audiophile songs we've all heard countless times. Sorry about that.

But, here's a few from my list. Curious your thoughts on them (SQ wise).

Like drums?

Careful of the bass in these:

The soundstage on this song is delightful. And the bass is great with my sub setup.

Excellent, glad you like!
Also curious, if anyone can tell what HZ we're hearing in this one.

Hey Bob. I clicked on the "bass" track and found the sq exceedingly clear. Wish more people would click on it to debunk their own bias against YT music's sq.

Of course, as I am defending YT, they are trying to restrict my ad block usage.

That said, it can be frustrating for those looking for pre 2000 music as most sources then were crap.

Thanks for clarification!

Yea, the last couple days has been a battle with YT on the adblockers.
I'm slowly migrating over to other platforms that have the channels I follow. If I find out they've got a channel on Rumble, for instance, I subscribe over there, say my farewell to the channel on the last video they've posted, and delete my subscription on YT. It's a small thing, but makes me feel like I'm making a difference.
