Why is it not public ? It's such a gem !!!!

[DobroPlayer]

I remember when I first saw this amazing video 10 years ago being so disappointed that he hadn't made more videos

[OrzoMondo]

There will always be someone who says "No way, 192 KHz is better, I can hear the difference!". These are the people who can "hear" the difference a $5k network cable makes. :)

Thank you for this great video!

[gblargg]

Glad someone put this video back up. I hadn't been able to find it for years.

[Diego-Garcia]

Sometimes I think everyone can make good presentations... until a see people like Monty doing a presentation.

[RannonSi]

I really enjoy Monty's presentation. What's he doing nowadays, approximately 11 years after?

[ThomasZander]

Can we please make this a mandatory training for everyone who spends money on hifi equipment?

Wow, I'm in awe of the presentation itself. Very well made. it reminded me of watching those old films made by GM and Ford explaining some mechanical principle related to cars with props and cut open parts.

The animations really show clearly how deceiving digital sampling can be, thank you for the demo!

Finally someone with a spectrograph and oscilloscope to make audiophiles cry over their 900$ platinum-plated USB cables 🤣

I remember seeing this video 11 years ago, I noticed it was veery informative and helped me into understanding a lot about audio.
And there is a lot more interesting info in their website, totally recommended!

[diegotz]

I remember reading the article he mentions at the beginning back in the day and being blown away, thank you for uploading this!

I love the sound of analog tape. I also love being able to record with low-noise. Digital recording is the best of both worlds — you can get virtually flawless input, and because the modeling in so many plugins has gotten so accurate and sophisticated — if you want to add the type of distortion analog hardware inherently puts in the signal, you can. If you start with tape, it’s baked-into the stems forever

[Stevie_D]

Two words - EXCELLENT and INFORMATIVE! Thanks for posting that ... even though some of that was a replay from your last video, I replayed this one twice.

[gr.nk]

Super cool and inspirational content. I'm crazy glad youtube recommended me this channel!

[BlastingAgents]

What an awesome, on point, presentation.

[yashvirmahdoo]

Thank you for this video, this has cleared out all the lies.

[wesleyboynton]

What an incredible presentation and what a smooth presenter.

I Love this video. It also reminds me of the Dithering video from HTTP 203. It's about image dithering, but it's interesting to see the same concept applied in another domain.

I love Monty. He's an awesome presenter.
