At AudibleOddites, we use world-class equipment in every category, from our prized hand-built loudspeakers and top of the line amps and convertors, customized EQ’s and compressors, all the way down to our custom soldered cables and gold-plated interconnects. And we’ve painstakingly tailored the room acoustics for an accurate listening experience enabling us to make informed critical decisions that helps ensure the most consistent translation between all the various playback systems, whether it be your iPod, a home hi-fi system, or a club filled with 15,000 people.
