Hi I was wondering if you guys listen to any audio podcasts, or if you can offer any suggestions for great resources for learning about good products.
Few good podcasts I've subscribed to, on the app Castbox:
°Beginner Audiophile
A good one. The two hosts really get into a lot of their experiences at home and in their professions with many quality audio products. For instance, one of the hosts occasionally brings up Zu Audio speakers that apparently are topping his wish list.
One of the hosts, an older gentleman, is the one that most of the questions from listeners, and the other host, are directed to. A sound engineer, he is very knowledgeable about brands of speakers and headphones, and knowledgeable just in how sound works.
°TheNewOld
This is like ear-porn, content wise, but with a dull, nearly intolerable presentation.
This guy likes newer styles of Jazz, loves headphones, mentions Schiit Audio frequently, and turned me on to the idea of purchasing a handmade headphone tube amp from Toolshed Amps called The Darling.
www.toolshedamps.com
Great content with the delivery of someone who just funneled a bottle of NyQuil before the show started, with a low drumbeat as a background.
There's a few other podcasts I've subscribed to but haven't heard yet, one called The Great Albums, that I hope to hear soon.
One other worthy mention. The book called Schiit Happened. Hilarious and hard to put down. I purchased it after reading it for free on Head-Fi.org in the thread called Schiit Happened.
Written by Schiit Audio co-founder Jason Stoddard this funny recount of how and why the company began gives great insight into how certain components work, and the book gives tons of details on all of the snags they hit putting out things like BiFrost, Ragnarok, Valhalla, Lyr, Yggdrasil and more. And funny stories from audio expos they attended.
Anyway, anyone care to share any resources you like for audio discussion aside from The Audio Standard?
