Future-Fi: What May Lie Ahead For Audio

What would it be like if the deleterious effects of room boundaries and interaction were a thing of the past? In the future, will audiophiles have the same problems we do now, or will we be arguing about the best-sounding audio software for our brain implants?Audiophiles tend to get bogged down in debate over our here-and-now problems like whether to bi-amp or what speaker cabinets are more inert than others.  It can be a fun exercise to imagine the future possibilities with an audio buddy, and Darren and Duncan give it a go.Also in this episode, a listener asks about his 12-watt EL-84-based tube amp and whether it's a good match for his Harbeth P3 speakers. Another listener asks which turntable setup is recommended to sound better than his DAC -- a trickier challenge than it first seems.This week's album recommendation comes from one of the guys' favorite world music singers, and features tunes in French, Spanish and English. Apparently the artist crafted the record while traveling on the road with a circus. As you do.   This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables Whisper power cable.
