WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THIS EPISODE

“changing all the capacitors (in a full recap) is not necessary and may in fact, change the character of the amp”

“liquid stylus cleaners will have your stylus tip breaking off, falling off, falling out, disappearing….”

“(at HiFi shows) some listeners are so calibrated to their own system that nothing will sound good…”

“Spotify – really the music business is no more messed up than it ever was – huge winners and mostly losers“

“(buying online) you can’t buy on reputation alone. … I’ve read HiFi reviews and wondered how the review concurs with what I’ve heard…You really have to listen and that doesn’t happen online.“
