Unlike some others, I really like the idea of video reviews, though I don't think that this one was all it could be (SURE--easy for me to say since, unlike you, I've contributed exactly zero reviews to the community, written or video!). Anyway, I just think that a video could give the reader/viewer just so much better of an idea of the experience of use/ownership than your written words. For example, when you showed the back of the Naim and we could see how tight the speaker cable area was with the bananas plugged in, you really got a sense of what it would be like to own and/or set up the unit; that would be very difficult to convey equally well with words alone. On the other hand, although you did "spin" the volume control in the video, the novelty of the control seems like it could have been better served with, say, an overhead shot showing the control and top display in action, along with a little more voice over narration. I guess what I am saying is that (as much extra work as I am sure it would be and, again, easy for me to say), seeing you actually interact with the unit(s) under review, instead of just watching you talk about it, would really be beneficial and really make the video format worthwhile. Finally, THANK YOU, for not making us watch you play music through your (review) system (like some other video reviewers insist on doing). How or why anyone would think that music played back through a review system, captured (fallibly) on your mic(s), uploaded to and compressed by Youtube and then played back in our room through our system would be a worthwhile exercise or give anyone any idea of what you were hearing first hand is beyond me. There is no way we will ever hear what you hear... though, via video, we can see (close to) what you see, and that could be great! I, for one, think that video reviews could be very, very cool. Keep up the great work.
