The Hi-Fi Five Episode 13
In Episode 13 we discuss:
When is high pricing actually too much? Is $151,000 for speaker cables just absurd?
How can the absolute sound and Stereophile remain truthful while still making money? Should the magazines help whitewash and cover up component defects?
Is the traditional Harry Pearson-style comparative review dead? What is a review today? Are today's reviews any different than a long-form product brochure?
Do you really need multiple sources -- vinyl/streaming/disc/tape? Or is this just audiophilia nervosa?
