The Hifi Podcast: Ultra-Fi: What Is It, And Why?

If you’ve ever wondered why some audio products cost as much as a fancy car, or in some cases a 5-bedroom house, you’re in luck. In this episode of The Hifi Podcast, Darren and Duncan explore the world of Ultra-Fi audio, wrapping their heads around these staggering figures and explaining why some stereo equipment might cost that much.

$649,000 speakers, a $430,000 amplifier and $200,000 worth of cables for one system isn’t just staggering. From the perspective of many people, it’s unfathomable, and borderline irresponsible.

But as the top of the top in the business, the state of the art and the “concept cars” of the most innovative audiophile brands do they not deserve a place to exist at all? Would millions of people be into cars in the first place, if Ferrari and Lamborghini didn’t exist?

Learning about Ultra-Fi can ignite passion and inspire many to be attracted to the audiophile hobby that perhaps wouldn’t otherwise, and it can offer a benchmark for the next wave of audio engineers to try to beat in the future.

Find out more, like where all the money goes and how it’s made by listening to this podcast, and be sure to stick around until the end when the week’s audiophile album pick of the week is revealed.
