In this episode, it’s analog vs. digital. Drawing from The Audiophile’s Guide, the conversation dives into the strengths and trade-offs of both formats—from the tactile magic of vinyl to the precision and convenience of streaming. What makes one sound more “real” than the other? How do system choices shape what you hear? Whether you’re loyal to the stylus or deep into DACs, this is a clear-eyed look at two very different paths to great sound.
