from The Hifi Podcast with Darren and Duncan · host Darren and Duncan

A musician may want more sub bass on a mix than is prudent.And on, and on. There are so many examples of places in audio where clever ideas simply can't compete against the laws of physics.In this episode of The Hifi Podcast, the guys and their regular guest host Chris Brunhaver talk about the many sides of this truism of audio.In the questions segment of the podcast, Chris explains all about "power response," and the guys discuss the pros and cons of upsampling.This week's album, Sideways EP by CLN, is some really cool electronic music that experiments with organic sounds and presentations.  This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables Whisper power cable.

Speaker expert Chris Brunhaver is back, although this week, the guys aren't jawing about squawk boxes.

Turns out, there are several ways the truth of this statement shows up in the hifi hobby, and the guys explain why it's truer now than ever before.
