A unique discussion for Audio lovers. In this video, we discuss how Audiophiles killed high-end audio and how it has shaped current products and buying habits.

High-end audio isn’t the same as it was 30, 40 or even 50 years ago. At least that’s what one viewer thinks. I break down how high-end audio has not only NOT changed, but actually remained EXACTLY the same.

There’s a time and place for audiophile critical listening. But just how much critical listening do we actually do? Is critical listening ALL there is to being an audiophile or hi-fi enthusiast?

A lot of AV enthusiasts want to know at what point can they no longer tell the difference between high end audio equipment and budget gear. I weigh in with my answer as well as share 3 big factors into why you may NEVER hear a difference.

Audio equipment, be it an amplifier, preamplifier, source, loudspeaker or even cable, isn’t made of magic. There is no real magic anywhere in the hi-fi and audiophile hobby, and yet if you talk to some enthusiasts you’d swear certain products were, in fact, magic. So who’s right?

There is no shortage of opinions in the audiophile and hi-fi space, and not all opinions are good -or even helpful. We discuss the more toxic side of the audiophile hobby and how you can steer clear of it and engage in good, helpful conversation (and debate) online.

What’s most important when putting together a hi-fi or audiophile system, is it the source component or your loudspeakers? I attempt to answer this age old question in my latest video.

Shopping for your first two-channel audio system can be daunting. I do my best to break it down and help you get started in my latest video inspired by a viewer letter.

If you’re a hi-fi enthusiast or audiophile, chances are you’ve either experienced, or are currently going through some type of AV equipment addiction. I talk about what you can do to kick your dependence on gear, and get back to enjoying the music.
