The Problem
Building hi-fi systems shouldn't require a physics degree.
Matching audio components means cross-referencing impedances, output voltages, sensitivity figures, cartridge compliance, and tonearm mass across a dozen spec sheets in multiple browser tabs — for every single pairing.
One wrong pairing — a speaker impedance that dips too low for your amp, a phono gain stage that clips — and the system you spent thousands on won't reach its potential.
- Impedance mismatches cause distortion and can damage amplifiers
- Incorrect phono loading deadens cartridge high-frequency response
- Poor gain staging increases the noise floor and reduces dynamics
- Wrong tonearm resonance frequency causes audible bass coloration
