Vintage Audio Addict is a great YT channel that I recommend for all Budget Audiophiles to subscribe to.

This video is a dissertation on the work of Peter Aczel. An engineer that lays it out in plain language how audio really works and why "Audiophiles" are wasting their money. I've known about Peter for quite some time and his perspective went a long way in shaping my own in regards to audio equipment.

If they put as much effort into the video as into the AI-slop illustration, I’m not going to waste my time watching it

Yeah, I don't know why he's gone down that path.

It's an audio dissertation and the video is not necessary as it does not add to the content.

It's worth listening to IMHO.
