BUSTED: 13 common audiophile MYTHS

Every hobby has its myths, but the audiophile hobby is something else. I've convinced myself most of these myths are true at some point in my own audio journey, but after blind testing myself and more skeptical, honest evaluation, not all of the myths survived. And yet, I still love this hobby. Shoutout to my channel supporters for helping me put together this list of myths. You know who you are. Reminder: While this video covers some controversial topics, they are not actually matters of life and death. Consider this a cheat sheet for how I approach the hobby after years of curious listening, and hopefully you'll find this helpful in your own journey. But it's OK if we disagree. We can still be friends. Sponsor HiFiGo is making this content possible.
