About

Hello! I'm WaveTheory. I've been writing reviews of audio gear - mostly headphones, headphone amps, and DACs - at HiFiGuides Forum and Head-Fi and have now moved into the video side. On this channel I hope to continue to do equipment reviews, branch out into speakers and 2 channel systems, and shed some light on some of the science behind sound, audio, and how the human brain understands these patterns of sound we call music.
