I loved all the shows so far. Keep them coming! I've learned lots. And they are not too serious :) And the hosts are Australian blokes who have degrees in physics! What's not to love?

I Don’t think that the creators of this podcast are sad, they seem to be having too good a time not taking themselves or their hobby too seriously. Good fun for Hi-Fi buffs.
Some fun chat which goes to show the lighter side of a ridiculous (ly) fun hobby! I like the “what have you been listening to” discussion, as well as the widely divergent paths taken to music playback systems. There is even some good information if you listen closely!
If you love hifi but hate audiophiles taking themselves seriously then you should listen to this.
They weren’t lying when they said they were sad, 5/5
