Description

In the history of hifi audio, there have been many more  truly small companies than those that can be considered large for the industry. There are specific pros and cons to both, and in this episode of The Hifi Podcast, hosts Darren and Duncan discuss the topic at length.Small companies like Morrison Audio or Linkwitz Labs can offer products that require more knowledge and setup than  products from, say  Bowers & Wilkins or  Magnepan. The resulting sound can be exquisite, and offer a unique characteristic or approach.Conversely, a huge company like Sony can afford to lose money in the R&D of a ground-breaking product that contains a feature set that would be unheard-of from a smaller company.Whatever the case,  it's interesting what is possible for each type of hifi audio manufacturer, and cool to see both find relevance in our audiophile world.This week's album recommendation comes via a duo from Canada, who is one of Duncan's favorite go-to artists for interesting, borderline jazzy electronic music.
