Today is Audiophile Day, celebrating all things hi-fi and the people who obsess over getting the best from their music.
So, what got you into hi-fi in the first place? Was it a particular album, a piece of gear, or hearing a proper setup for the first time?

Someone recently mentioned dropping their original copy of Radiohead's Kid A years ago and only then discovering the hidden second booklet tucked underneath the CD tray. It got us wondering what other great examples are out there.

IKEA KALLAX units seem to feature in countless vinyl and hi-fi setups, so this feels like a genuinely clever idea.
The new Tangent Spectrum Square is designed to fit neatly inside a KALLAX cube, with front-facing bass-reflex ports to help when it’s positioned close to a wall. It has Bluetooth 5.0, an AUX input and the option to pair two speakers wirelessly for stereo sound. You can also swap the grille colours to match your setup.
Would you integrate this speaker into your KALLAX, or do you prefer keeping speakers separate from your record storage? Check out the full listing here https://www.av.com/Speakers/Tangent-Spectrum-Square-Bluetooth-Speaker/89RI

...the one you know within seconds.
Maybe it’s the way they tell stories, phrase a line, or somehow say something you’ve always felt but could never put into words.

Many people got rid of CDs years ago, and now physical media seems to be having a bit of a comeback.

A subwoofer feels like one of those upgrades that can completely transform a setup, but it can also turn into a never-ending game of tweaking placement, crossover settings and trying to keep the neighbours happy.

Did it end up sticking, or were you counting the days until someone else took over?
Curious how many of us are playing our main instrument simply because the band needed one at the time.
