The Gear Lover Versus The Music Lover
from The Hifi Podcast with Darren and Duncan · host Duncan Taylor, Darren Myers
If you’ve ever heard to a locomotive passing left to right in your listening room before, you know there are some cool experiences to be had as an audiophile where music doesn’t even factor in.The great thing about this audiophile hobby is how stinkin’ broad it is and capable of making all kinds of interests and rabbit holes rewarding on their own.It’s true that there is a bit of disdain shown in some areas of the audiophile sphere for folks who would rather listen to gear than music, but in this week’s episode of The Hifi Podcast, hosts Darren and Duncan suggest realigning that perspective to be more welcoming of different approaches to fun with this hobby.Also in this episode are a couple of listener questions, one of which concerns the rebuilding of 30-year-old crossovers.This week’s album recommendation threatens to become your library’s best-sounding album. That’s beside the fact that it’s also immensely winsome and deep and emotional, and features some world class musicianship. This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables Whisper power cable.

What this episode covers
Listening for the sake of listening (and not necessarily to music) isn't a new thing, and although the notion of going through a "Stereophile test disc phase" in your listening habits may be silly to some, this episode of The HiFi podcast aims to offer a different perspective. Also in this episode are crossover upgrade questions and a seriously jaw-dropping album of the week.
