One more funny thing about Prelude - some people were saying they were superior thanks to skipping any inner cables, just having direct pin connection to connector.

So what I'm understanding from the Emperor's New clothes analogy is that to fully appreciate the Prelude, I need to use them naked

That reminds me of the story of a plumber who charged someone 500 to come out the uncloge a pipe. All he did was tap it a couple of times with a hammer. The home owner was like you charged me 500.00 just for that. The plumber replied, for the act of tapping the pipe with a hammer, that was only 10.00. But knowing where to tap it, cost 490.00.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Prelude. The tuning is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of acoustical engineering most of the technicalities will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Warbler's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its design - Warbler's philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these tuning choices, to realise that they don't just sound good- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Prelude truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the insight in Warbler's existential tagline "Be Moved," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Warbler's genius wit unfolds itself in their ears. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, I DO have a Hi-Res Audio sticker tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Loved this story time video, and OMG please don't remind me of the mindless times of being on audiophile forums in the past with people who hated any scientific/quantifiable approach of any kind towards audio in general. Wait did I say please don't remind me of those times, lol there are still forums filled with snake oil products and dubious reviews to this day. But thankfully, we no longer have to put up with them being everywhere or being the only prominent voices in this industry.

Who's to say that they even DID 5 years of research, let alone any. It feels like it was a quick-buck type scheme and they made off with a lil bit of money. I'd love to see more talks about the snake oil products in the scene. LTT has touched a couple already and that's been fun and insightful.

I've been watching Crinacle for a good year now. Anytime I watch a video, I always watch until the very end because for some weird reason, I like to be told "don't die" and "fuck off" in that specific order.

Absolutely need more "Story Time". Super informative

Great video would love more story time vids in the future

Superb, Crin. Sadly, a large part of the current audio market is still propped up by marketing hype and sycophantic reviewers - whether for transducers or electronics. Kudos for puncturing the balloon and sharing facts. Of course, the audiophools will dismiss this and go on believing whatever their egos need to have.

I actually own a LH Labs Geek Pulse and I've been using it every day since I got it. I bought the bundle with the Hifiman HE-400i and because my bank goofed the transaction I thought I wouldn't be getting anything so I was incredibly surprised when I got the shipping notification and shipping fees were all that I paid for it. Since then the 400i, to no one's surprise, got a faulty driver after a few years and the Geek Pulse is still holding up fine after nearly a decade of daily use.

Yes to more vids like this

Love this format.

Woo this is gonna be a rabbit hole as audio product in general is very subjective in terms of sound quality. We need to hear more stories but at the same times your channel will stay alive when you touch some sort of controversial topic or company

Yes, I really want to hear about both of those - Trinity and LH labs subbed, will look forward to it sir!
