Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed Although Brent and Dennis will probably never again work up the gumption to attend CES, they can muster the courage to read through others' CES reports and weigh in with their own opinions. That's this week's first segment. Then they check out an article from Darko about age-related hearing loss and its relationship with audio copium, and think real hard about whether buying a $10,000 DAC is worth it if you can't hear above 12 kHz. They then take a TAS hostage video hostage and use it as a jumping-off point for a deep dive into Class G and H amp topologies.    And for Patrons: What the heck is Snyderman's Maxim? And would you want a million-dollar audio system if you could only use it to listen to “Hotel California”?

Next up: John Darko says lazy phrases are the norm in audio coverage but don't mean anything. Is Darko punching above his weight class without breaking a sweat? And lastly for most listeners, we wonder if the rumors of the audio hobby's death have been greatly exaggerated, and pine for the days when all audiophiles wore bowler hats.   And for Patrons: When Stereophile does blind testing, Brent and Dennis sit up and take notice… a full 37 years late.

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? Perhaps!

Wrapping things up for normies, they respond to a request from numerous Patrons to look into New Record Day's power cable conversion testimony to answer the question: Is it worthwhile to do a deep dive into the testing procedures of people who haven't themselves done a deep dive into the subject of testing procedures?

Best Of: Behind the Console: From Prince to PhD

For Women's History Month, we are revisiting Sound & Vision's 2021 miniseries, Behind the Console, which highlights the stories of women and nonbinary audio engineers who are navigating what is still a very male-dominated field. Today we meet Susan Rogers, who engineered for Prince for four years, working on albums like 'Purple Rain' and 'Sign o' the Times.' She also has credits with David Byrne, Tricky, and the Barenaked Ladies. She talks about what it was like keeping up with Prince's tireless creativity, and how it could be both exhausting and exhilarating. She also discusses eventually leaving engineering in her 40s to get her PhD in Music Cognition and Psychoacoustics, and how that has influenced her work in unexpected ways.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
