The HiFi Five Episode 9
In Episode 9 we discuss:
— If you could listen to music with one audio reviewer/influencer who would you select, and why?
Three of us selected Michael Fremer!
— Do uber-expensive flagship components make marketing strategy sense to sell mid-range components?
We discuss the marketing hype around claimed innovations, and why dealers really are the main clients of many manufacturers.
— Vintage components: better sound than today’s contemporary high-end dealer sound or nostalgia and false memories of greatness?
— What do the terms "sound-stage" and "imaging" and "depth" mean?
