  • Bill Voss of Technics podcast

    Great Show - Only now realizing I met Bill Voss at Audio Advice Live in Raleigh, NC where he was sharing some of his many LPs with the attendees. He turned me on to Percussion Persuasiva from late 1959. Great album to introduce you to stereophonics. Thanks Bill! Look forward to meeting again. Technics makes some great equipment.

I was disappointed that the new host didn't ask the owner of Wilson Audio about the controvery behind their Loke su... more

  • Company men

    These guys clearly don’t do their research.

    In their mofi episode they essentially report that mofi never made any misrepresentation of their product and instead let reviewers perpetuate some myth about their product.

    The mofi records in question were called “one step” records and clearly claimed to be directly from the analog source (hence the one step moniker). It turns out many were not directly from the analog source and had a digital step in the middle.

    It was false advertising.
