The HiFi Five Podcast
Welcome to The HiFi Five, a live roundtable discussion show about all things high-end audio plus music recommendations, produced twice per month --the second and the fourth Wednesday of every month.
The HiFi Five is hosted/moderated by Ron Resnick, co-owner of WhatsBestForum and audio reviewer.
Our other chairs will feature one-time guests and recurring guests.
This show is educational: explaining how to select components, how to build audio systems, how to treat rooms and how to help you achieve the greatest realism and emotional engagement from your audio system. This show also is a candid, freewheeling, behind-the-scenes look at the high-end audio hobby and industry, with reports from audio shows, and gives you insights, opinions and perspectives.

The Hi-Fi Five Episode 11
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 11 we discuss:
— How did audio get so combative? Is it typical internet keyboard warrioring, or are audiophiles exceptionally s#itty?
— In the same seat in the concert hall we all hear substantially the same thing. So why do our stereos end up sounding so different? Danny, Elliot and Jay say it is just personal preferences or lack of listening education. Ron explains his hypothesis about “sonic cues.”
— What does "Best of Show" really mean? Is “pay to play” involved? Should reviewers be required to disclose the rooms they did not visit?
— One set-up trick from each of us.
