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.
