    Date an audiophile and you’ll never run out of quality cables. If you’re lucky, they might even agree to flog you with the Stax Lambda’s flat ribbon cable.

      how much was all this audio equipment? literally nothing compared to the cost of the cables to hook it all up with.

        Never ask:

        • A man his salary
        • A woman her age
        • An audiophile how much they paid for their hoard

         

        On second thought, ask all of those questions.

        • Secrecy is how employers get away with wage inequality.
        • “I didn’t know she was 17” does not work in a court of law.
        • An audiophile will proudly point at their favourite budget headset. I mean, the Samson SR-850 is just insane value for its price. Sure, it’s a symphony of plastics, the design is just a straight rip-off of the AKG K240, and the fixed cable is a bummer, but the frequency response and the soundstage are out of this world. Plus the impedance is only 32 ohms: it easily runs out of a smartphone.
