In this episode we discuss:

-- The influence of magazine reviewers, influencers and audio forums to consumers when buying components. We discuss Jay's business, The Absolute Sound's YouTube Channel and What's Best Forum.

-- What role do audiophile consumers play in hiding component problems and helping manufacturers whitewash defective products? We discuss the behind-the-scenes reality of what goes on with hobbyists and manufacturers when components have design defects.

-- Is the traditional manufacturer / distributor/ dealer industry model outdated? We discuss the Rhapsody listening rooms business model versus a traditional dealer network; Joe Cali's Gryphon brand store in Los Angeles; Gary Leed's Hear This and Elliot tells dealer war stories.
