What we hear and how we hear it is a topic of curiosity that Mino Christante and Luke Zitterkopf explore as they draw the fine line between listening to audio component performance or simply listening to music. What is the difference?

Please check out the marvelous Avalon Jazz Band and support them by buying their music on Bandcamp. Here is the link.

Not so very long ago, you could hop on a plane and attend an audio show to learn more about the world of high-end audio. Those days are over, and perhaps forevermore as the cost of cancelled shows takes its long-lasting toll on the audiophile industry for the magazines that depend on them, and for the established big names that maintained their status through shows and subsequent magazine articles and reviews. Join Mino Christante and Luke Zitterkopf of Aluminous Audio as they discuss the fall of the house of cards as well as new frontiers in the discovery of that next awesome audio component.

Tiptoe with audiophile industry veteran Mino Christante through the often painful nettle patch of reviews versus the hard reality: how to get to the bottom of better sound for your system in researching audio components. Luke Zitterkopf of Aluminous Audio joins in the discussion of the quickly changing field of players, as audio shows go extinct, magazines that depended on shows and large advertising dollars to drive their reviews yield scant returns, and audio forums grow evermore unreliable in providing useful information for discriminating audio enthusiasts.

Mino Christante distributes worldwide the Aluminous Audio Gravitas Speaker System, and the IVCM Isolation Vibration Component Module foot component for Aluminous Audio. More can be found at: http://www.aluminousaudio.com.
