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.

In Episode 14 we discuss:
If you had to judge a very expensive, high-end stereo system using only one song what track do you choose and why?Why should any audiophile listen to YouTube Influencers?
How should influencers deal with the conflicts of interest between what they tell their audiences and what they sell?
What brands and components do you not sell but which you like a lot and think sound great.
When cable manufacturers test and voice their own designs, how can manufacturers claim great things for their cables if the cables are designed using only their own reference system?
Are forums today like What's Best Forum valuable for hobbyists or merely advertising platforms?
