Something magical. Trevor Powers of Youth Lagoon might even be a wizard.
What is an Audiophile?
Many attendees at the New York Audio Show 2013 were afraid to admit they were audiophiles, opting for complicated explanations about their passion for music.

Woo Audio was SM's favorite listening experience at the show. Read more here
