About

🎧 Hey there, I’m Lachlan! 🎢 If you love great sound, you're in the right place. With a background in music, tech, and a degree in hearing and speech, I break down the world of audio gear in a way that's fun, insightful, and easy to understand. I've spent 25+ years playing piano, violin, and viola, and I’ve worked in the consumer audio industry - so I know what makes sound truly sing. Whether it's headphones, speakers, amps, DACs or streamers, I go beyond just reviews to explore why things sound the way they do and to share some knowledge along the way. With me, you can expect deep dives, honest takes, a lot of curiosity and a bit of fun along the way. Ready to make your music sound better than ever? Let’s go!
