OHM AIR: Recent Episodes

View Details

Shoutout to Atheism is Unstoppable's constantly updated, and often insightful YouTube channel (from which I lifted the intro seconds to this podcast):

You can find his work here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg6MuFVugHwWCp1YDQDAy1w, especially his takedowns of regressive reactions to the recent Orlando shooting.

In poring through incoming traffic to ohm-image.net, I discovered a nugget from Super Best Audio Friends, denigrating an RMAA article I wrote about the Sony NW-ZX2.

Certainly on point in points, I nodded my head to some of what Marvey (staff at the forum) said, but in large part, it read like a person whose religion had just been kicked.

Too bad.

Which reminded me of an earlier mano-a-mano I had with one of Head-fi.org's most vociferous complainers: Macedonian Hero. Hilarity ensues.

Note that, if you're interested, the text to this podcast will be published at http://ohm-image.net/ohm-air/ in a few hours.

Head-Fi admin, Steven Segall disciple, and deadpan YouTube audiophile gear reviewer, Amos Barnett, returns to co-host OHM AIR post-hoc Fujiya Avic's latest headphone show. We talk Linum cables, the demise of lightning/thunderbolt, sucky interfaces, a modern iron maiden, garrotting with Aurisonics's cables, and a custom earphone I reckon is destined to become the gold standard for trance fans.

NOTE: we had multiple connection issues, and I had a cough. Apologies all around.
