Description

Harmonizers. Resonators. Grounding boxes filled with dirt. Green dots, quantum tunneling, past-time-disentanglement, beeswax, tellerium,  C37 lacquer, nano liquid... the list goes on and on. What some folks in the hobby consider heretical snake oil, others have tried and found some degree of success in their audio journeys.But where is the line? Perhaps the "madness line" is different for each person, and since this is supposed to be a fun hobby, perhaps there is no line that needs to be drawn.Regardless, in this episode of The Hifi Podcast, the guys discuss where their line lies on the scale of interesting or "out there" audio approaches.This week's questions segment is a good one, including a tip from a listener to help another podcast listener who had a question last week. And interesting idea for a cue lever delay is in there, as well as talk about step up transformers and hysteresis distortion.This week's album is a killer acoustic record that has been a staple of Darren's system for many years. A quintessential American folk singer in a recording that drips with feeling and life. Tune in to find out who and what.
