The Audiophiles Guide
The Audiophile's Guide podcast is your invitation into the world of high-end audio, and connecting with me, Paul McGowan—a 50-year veteran in the art and science of sound and the co-founder and CEO of PS Audio. We do kind of a mind meld between me and our technologically connected hosts. Each episode is a fresh, no-nonsense exploration of how to bring music to life in your home, drawn from my decades of hands-on experience designing the gear that makes it happen.

The truth behind speakers and sources
Which matters more—the speakers or the source? In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we dig into one of high-end audio’s most debated questions. Speakers define what you hear, but the source determines what’s being heard. Explore how upstream choices shape detail, tone, and emotional impact—and why even the finest speaker can’t fix a broken signal. It’s not a competition, it’s a chain—and every link matters if the goal is musical truth.
