What can you do?

We get a lot of encouragement and positive feedback. Thank you for that! To keep delivering the livestream, we really need your support. You can help us by becoming a Patreon.
We also get constructive criticism. Thanks for that too! With this, we can improve the livestreams and reach an even larger audience. Improvement requires effort on our side and flat out, we cannot live on air and loving support alone. You can help us by becoming a Patreon.
It is for the love of music
We also get criticism from what we’ll just call wiseacres. Usually to lecture us on the limitations of how we test. They also often manage to tell us that everything we do is subjective. As if we are not aware of that ourselves.
To this we have to say: listening to music with nice equipment is a hobby, where the main thing is the beautiful music. If you think we are a bunch of idiots, that’s fine. But instead of highlighting that in the comments below the video, stream after stream, you have the option to watch something else, or put some music on at home. Or give it a try yourself. Merely a suggestion.
We are still enjoying the beautiful music, the beautiful equipment that makes it possible to enjoy the music, and the many viewers we have engaged for a number of years. We hope you enjoy it too.
Until the next livestream!
Uh oh. I’ve probably watched 15-20 live streams and reviews and I just now saw this post.🥴 My bad. It is a really important post though and everyone engaged on the site should read it. Maybe pin a link to this on home page? Anyway, I like that the author has clearly framed the mission, style and important values of Alpha Audio in his words. Some people clearly don’t get it though. Dedicated, knowledgeable and enthusiastic hobbyists committed to transparency and helping others craft their own personally satisfying listening experience while having fun doing so. I can attest to their friendly openness and sincere desire to help as they have never failed to answer any of my neophyte posts. I’ve received sensible and useful guidance on building my first serious system over the course of weeks for what I spend on coffee in just one day. If you have questions, then I recommend Jaap, Yung, Martijn, and Geoffrey (and hidden colleagues!) without reservation. They are such a pleasure to work with. In my mind, Alpha Audio is more public service than small business. But in truth, all of this costs real money. So join me in Patreon and support them even if only for a single month. You will help keep their informative helpful work flowing. Be kind, be generous. Helping others is a gift you give yourself. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Almost everyone with headphones except me, with my modified and very improved KEF Q100 5.25″ coaxial (they sound much better than originals), in near field while listening to Live on my second audio system (computer).
You cannot see all the differences but you can see a few that serve to make a ranking or discard.
