2. PMC Designer Peter Thomas: Real Sound, HiFi, Pro Audio & the Music We Hear #64

   6 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 36 min

   Afspelen
   PMC co-founder and loudspeaker designer Peter Thomas on HiFi, loudspeaker design, professional audio and the pursuit of real sound. What makes a speaker sound accurate? Why are real drums and cymbals so difficult to reproduce? Why does PMC voice their home audio the same as their pro audio? Then we head inside the world of professional recording: Hollywood film scoring, Abbey Road and Capitol Studios, spatial audio, analogue tape versus digital, and what can be lost between the original recording and the music we finally hear at home. Along the way Peter shares remarkable encounters with Stevie Wonder and Elton John and draws on more than 35 years of PMC experience to explore one deceptively difficult question: how close can HiFi really get to the sound of the real thing?

3. HiFi Industry Unfiltered with SoundStage! Founder Doug Schneider #63

   22 september 2026 · 1 uur 34 min

   Afspelen
   Eavesdrop on an unfiltered HiFi industry conversation between Doug Schneider, founder of SoundStage! Global, and Andrew Hutchison of Not An Audiophile. Two experienced HiFi media personalities sit down for a candid, wide-ranging chat about audio equipment, music and the industry they love. This is not a formal interview built around one convenient topic. It's just Doug and Andrew, two longtime HiFi personalities forgetting the microphones and sharing honest opinions about HiFi products, brands, personalities and the business of better sound. Andrew and Doug agree - and disagree - on affordable equipment outperforming high end HiFi, genuine performance versus luxury audio and whether any amplifier can justify a $300,000 price. Measurements are good when taken in context of the product. Vinyl is great but Bluetooth turntables are bad. Struggling to introduce ordinary music lovers to better sound, the relevance of HiFi Shows and so, so much more! Lees meer

   People are buying moments. HiFi value is no longer in the brand, the price, or the sheer size of the system.
   Today, it's about deeper connections, more time, more life. Maybe the most important thing about HIFi isn't the hardware at all. Lees meer
