    The Sound OR Music, Episode 3

    Mick and David share their audiophile origin stories (lots of gamma rays and radioactive spiders!). Mick waxes nostalgic about Tech Hifi on Long Island and his early musical influences. David credits his dad's audio passions for igniting his own, and his friend's Shahanian Obelisks sparking a lifelong love affair with the brand.  Mick shares the tragic end of his vinyl collection, and his hard pivot to digital (bring plenty of hankies!). The beauty of the Abby Road half-speed remaster of Quadrophenia.

    The Sound OR Music, Episode 2

    David gets Magnepans for his listening room; Mick praises the "Maggie sound" but David has notes. Equipment break-in: real or myth? (spoiler alert: it's real). Uplifting words of encouragement for beginners, and some passionate advice to avoid the "audio incels" who are turning audio "measurements" into modern phrenology. Also no love for the YouTubers whose business model is based on affiliate links. But Mick has lots of love for the Rockna Wavedream SE.

    The Sound OR Music, Episode 1

    David's daughter comes out as audio-curious; Mick makes suggestions but they just end up talking about Apple and Steve Jobs then bicker about analog versus digital. (HINT: David's daughter still doesn't have an audio system.) They then go on to go on an "Audio Dumpster Dive," looking for the best deals on the used market. Lastly, they play a round of "Would You Buy It?," where they carefully consider purchasing isolation feet.
