Ok, classic question. In this episode, the focus turns to a classic audiophile question: what matters more—the music or the equipment? Based on insights from The Audiophile’s Guide, the discussion explores where passion meets performance. Is it enough to love the music, or does gear elevate the experience? Can high-end components distract from the emotional core of a song? Whether you build your system around your favorite albums or the other way around, this episode cuts to the heart of the hobby.
