What does a channel about good sound on any budget do when the sales arrive? It talks about the sales, twice. "Insane Hifi Deals Happening Now You Don't Want to Miss!" went past 120,000 views in under a day and a half, and "Don't Miss these Crazy Hifi Sales! Cheapest I've Seen!" followed a day later and is gathering views at an even quicker clip. The description of the first ties it to a cancer fundraiser, and under it viewers swap notes on old receivers, price histories and long thank-yous for the systems they built from his picks.

The rest of the week was the more opinionated kind of hi-fi talk. "The Best Kept Secret in Bookshelf Speakers" and "Forget Everything Hi-Fi Taught You About CD Players" both went past 100,000 views, while "Are You Really After Better Sound or Do You Just Like Buying Stuff" asked a question many collectors may prefer not to answer. A Klipsch Rebellion video rounded it off.

The channel as a whole ran a little below its usual daily pace, and about a thousand new subscribers arrived. Among similar tech channels, Zack Shutt had the giant week and the WVFRM Podcast ran above its normal pace, while cheapaudioman sat third for views gained.

What viewers say

  • You’re a good guy, Randy. Thank you for everything you do.

  • I want to express a big thank you to Randy. Over the last I’ve put together a system that far exceeds what I thought possible, based mostly on his recommendations. And it truly sounds amazing for a reasonable amount of money. I’m so comfortable with it and satisfied that I’m starting to listen to the music again instead of the gear!!

  • I got my Leatherman Marine version in 1997, use it nearly every day, still like new... I thought it was expensive at the time, not anymore 😉. USCGA Captain.

  • I'm still rockin' the Gerber Multi-Plier I got when I was in the Coast Guard 35 years ago. Made in USA and solidly built. I love the way the pliers slide out with a flick of the wrist.

  • My setup is a 2010 Sony ES receiver. I’m not sure about the model number, but it’s paired with Polk Audio RT 2000Ps with matching back surround and side surrounds and a center, and I love it.
