YouTubin’: PS Audio – Deleting Viewer Comments

Like PS Audio’s Paul McGowan, I’ve been accused of deleting unflattering comments. I think Paul nailed it here.

If you’re incapable of commenting without saying someone is “deaf”, a “Nazi”, or an opinion is “complete BS”, then I’m not wasting my time having a “conversation” with you. Neither is Paul. Go elsewhere to spew it. Paul sums it up pretty well here. “Boink! I don’t talk like that, and neither should you on my channel.”

For the record I’ve deleted:

  • Insults (some not all)
  • Comments about Erica Ehm – just deleted one today.

 

Youtubin’: PS Audio – High end heavy metal

Here comes Paul McGowan with a question for you audiophile metalheads!

As a non-audiophile, this will never be my bag, but it’s interesting anyway. “Wall of sound” – that’s what I want. He’s right that most of those albums are loud and compressed. Here’s how to maximize the sound of your heavy metal.

Youtubin’: PS Audio – Why audiophiles hate electronic music

The title of this video by PS Audio’s Paul McGowan is misleading. He doesn’t hate electronic music — at all. In fact PS Audio are releasing some on their label Octave Records. They key, says Paul, is “plenty of bottom end”.

I sure would love a tour of their listening rooms. Once in a lifetime experience for a guy like me.

Youtubin’: PS Audio – Does the CD layer of an SACD sound better?

Paul McGowan is back with another question I’ve always wondered about.  Audiophile customers at the Record Store would claim that the CD layer of Super Audio CDs sounded better than a regular CD.  That didn’t seem likely or even possible.  Paul clears it up here, and I’m not surprised at all.

Youtubin’: PS Audio – PS Audio’s new CD player

Paul McGowan, co-founder and CEO of PS Audio, is a genius when it comes to audiophile-level sound and equipment.  99% of what he talks about is far beyond my understand and/or budget.  (PS Audio’s new FR-30 loudspeakers run about $30 grand USD a pair.)  However, Paul is so personable and knowledgeable, that I recommend his videos to non-audiophile peasants like myself.  He answers fan questions every day, and offers tours of the PS Audio listening rooms. In this video, Paul reveals that PS Audio are planning a new CD player for 2023 or 2024. The current “parts pandemic” is a very real thing and he goes into detail on the problems this causes. Fascinating guy, interesting video.
