Over the past few seasons, Noel has taken shots at the audiophile fan for their obsessions with the ultimate sound that may turn off new physical music collectors and fans. In episode 30, he sits down with Ryan Clarin of Analogplanet.com to see what the audiophile world is all about. Framed to be a debate, it turns into a great discussion between two sects of the vinyl world. Press play and enjoy.
