As a listener, being restricted by a budget is a form of not getting your lunch for free. A designer might look at a single objective as the highest priority -- and then have to perform all kinds of feats to make that happen. A musician may want more sub bass on a mix than is prudent.

And on, and on. There are so many examples of places in audio where clever ideas simply can't compete against the laws of physics.

In this episode of The Hifi Podcast, the guys and their regular guest host Chris Brunhaver talk about the many sides of this truism of audio.

In the questions segment of the podcast, Chris explains all about "power response," and the guys discuss the pros and cons of upsampling.

This week's album, Sideways EP by CLN, is some really cool electronic music that experiments with organic sounds and presentations.
