Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Led Zeppelin Available Now
I had posted one of his videos here under the heading “Does it seem like this guy knows anything about Dark Side of the Moon?”
That was too generous. Apparently he does not know anything about records period. Any records. Records with any titles.
That would include records with the title Led Zeppelin II, the subject of today’s commentary.
This video has to be The. Dumbest. Video. Ever.
Never have I seen this level of vapidity on display. I had no idea people like this existed, but apparently they do, and unfortunately this person knows how to make videos.
Most of the audiophiles I’ve run into over the years had no idea how little they knew about records and audio. (I admit I was one of those guys for the first twenty years I was in high-end audio. Thank god there were no audiophile forums or youtube channels around back then.)
The audiophiles of which I speak mostly stayed in their listening rooms where their secrets were safe. With the advent of the internet and youtube, now these clueless types can make their ignorance known to the wider world, the Dunning-Kruger* effect on full display.
The Video
The concept undergirding this demonstration of — now that I think about it, I’m not sure what exactly is being demonstrated other than the fact that records, when spinning on a turntable and scratched by a needle, can make sounds, and those sounds can come out of your computer speakers when you play the video. It’s science.
Anyway, the demonstration is simplicity itself. Watch it, and then you tell me if this isn’t the dumbest video about records that you have ever seen.
