We do enjoy sponsoring shows that talk sense and science. We live in a physical world, and no matter how adamant some may be, you just can not get around physics. So to celebrate physics and real-world limitations, we decided it would be fun to sponsor a show addressing many things.
This write up kind of sucks, so did my ad, thankfully Not an Audiophile Podcast doesn't.
Chapter 1 Myth No. 1 FULL RECAPS!!!! A rant from a qualified audio/HiFi technician with 40+ years of experience.
Chapter 2 Myth No. 2 LIQUID STYLUS CLEANERS WILL DAMAGE YOUR STYLUS! Ask AI or any “expert” online and they will perpetuate this myth as truth.
Chapter 3 Myth No. 3 YOU CAN’T HEAR GOOD SOUND AT A HIFI SHOW! HiFi Shows are compromised spaces due to many factors but so are many domestic listening spaces.
Chapter 4 Myth No. 4 STREAMING IS ROBBING MUSICIANS! Facts and history prove this is not the case, no matter how adamant musicians may be.
Chapter 5 Myth No. 5 BUYING DIRECT IS DRAMATICALLY CHEAPER THAN BUYING RETAIL! Watch out while two HiFi professionals use facts and experience to bring out the truth.
