Audiophile Madness: Where Is The Line?

from The Hifi Podcast with Darren and Duncan · host Duncan Taylor, Darren Myers

Harmonizers. Resonators. Grounding boxes filled with dirt. Green dots, quantum tunneling, past-time-disentanglement, beeswax, tellerium,  C37 lacquer, nano liquid... the list goes on and on. What some folks in the hobby consider heretical snake oil, others have tried and found some degree of success in their audio journeys.But where is the line? Perhaps the "madness line" is different for each person, and since this is supposed to be a fun hobby, perhaps there is no line that needs to be drawn.Regardless, in this episode of The Hifi Podcast, the guys discuss where their line lies on the scale of interesting or "out there" audio approaches.This week's questions segment is a good one, including a tip from a listener to help another podcast listener who had a question last week. And interesting idea for a cue lever delay is in there, as well as talk about step up transformers and hysteresis distortion.This week's album is a killer acoustic record that has been a staple of Darren's system for many years. A quintessential American folk singer in a recording that drips with feeling and life. Tune in to find out who and what.  This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables Whisper power cable.

On the show, the guys talk a lot about tweaks, subtle differences, the brilliance of power cables and some of the more "snake-oily" parts of the hobby (according to some people). But even for two guys grounded in science yet open to possibilities, some parts of the audiophile hobby are a little too out there. In this episode, the guys look at some interesting approaches that fall into this category for them.
