    Great interview and Randy “The Cheapaudioman” is changing the audio and YouTube community for the best.

    The cheapaudioman is somewhat of an acquired taste. First pass at his site was memorable but a bit unimpressive but I went back. Soon his is among the top 3 sites that I visit on a regular basis for audio. His no-nonsense (ok, ok a LOT of nonsense …) approach to audio is informative and interesting. So far, he seems to “tell it as he sees it”, very refreshing.

      We rather like Randy. He’s a good guy and we like his approach.
