I'm joined by Lachlan Fennen of the YouTube channel Passion for Sound to discuss conflicts of interest in audio reviews. What is a conflict of interest? How is it different than a bias? What are some sources of conflicts of interest? How much of a problem are they really? How can reviewers navigate them? All this and more discussed within!

I'm joined by Mark of Super*Review to discuss equalization (EQ) in audio. We discuss what EQ is, graphic vs. parametric EQ, our experiences using EQ, some EQ philosophy, and some examples of how EQ is used on the headphone side of the audiophile hobby.
