“Nice!”

About this episode

Brent and Dennis discuss high-end audio cables, critique a video on flat frequency response, and explore an AI clone of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.

We’re on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashedThis week, Brent and Dennis begin with a discussion about the design and manufacture of high-end audio cables courtesy of Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity. How much art is there to appreciate? How much science is there to check? And most importantly, which aspects of the article pissed off our curmudgeonly duo the most? Speaking of being pissed off, Brent has a bone to pick with Erin Hardison over his most recent video about flat frequency response. You don’t want to miss that. And finally for most listeners this week, Dennis finally gets to do an entire segment about King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, thanks to an AI clone of the band that popped up on streaming services. Did this whole story somehow prove that Google is more evil than Spotify?
