  • #61 - It's the end of hi-fi show coverage as we know it (and I feel fine)
    This episode is brought to you by AudioQuest 👉 https://bit.ly/4fIkmaU w/ 6moons' Srajan Ebaen This episode of the Darko.Audio podcast with 6moons' Srajan Ebaen is audio only. Why? Because the subject matter is what we might call 'inside baseball'. Srajan and I pull apart the hi-fi show model to question what we can learn from hi-fi show demos as they currently stand; and how the limitations of show demos prevent the press from relaying meaningful insight to their audiences.
