THE HIFI FIVE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION STREAMING LIVE ON YOUTUBE PREMIERING IN OCTOBER!

Working my way through the episodes. Compliment to all of you for trying something different.

The last one I watched was Episode 6 with Denis Burger, I quite enjoyed it. I can see the podcast evolving as the four regulars become more comfortable with the format. While it's not always necessary to have a guest when you do have one that guest is an important element, from my perspective the better your guest the more interesting it is.

Hello Ricky,

We are feeling our way forward, and trying to discern which topics viewers are enjoying most. We will return to having guests occasionally in the new year.

The one thing we are sure we do not want is merely a video version of the kinds of endless subjective debates we have here on WBF. The reality is that each of the four of us has deeper insight into the industry and into industry goings-on and reports and even gossip than the typical hobbyist. So we do feel that we can provide a value-add on industry matters.
speaking only for myself, if i wanted to hear one businessman talk to another businessman about their business, i would have just stayed in the car business. the business of high end audio gets boring really really quick. like 5 weeks ago. give me some meaty subjective topics and i'm there. it's what attracts me to the hobby......not listening to whining about what's not fair or how the business really is. i want to know how it really sounds and related system building ideas instead.

no matter that the panel are likeable interesting people. maybe having the whole permanent panel made up of hifi business people means the perspective is a bit skewed toward the profit and loss part. just how it is. or maybe the audience ought to be other hifi dealers and manufacturers and reviewers, not hobbyists.

it is possible that the direction is moving more toward this subjective/fun side already. hope so.

I’ve watched a few episodes and have come away with the impression that I am not the intended audience. I have no idea who is the intended audience. It’s all new and I guess they are trying to figure it out as they go along.
 
The Hifi Five will start tomorrow Wednesday at 8 pm eastern instead of its normal 9 pm start time.
Thank you
