This keeps happening! Help me stop it!!
Some of you may have noticed that my camera occasionally decides to focus on my hands (yes, I use them a lot when I talk) instead of my face. That's because I use my photography camera (Sony A7R3) for all of my filming and it struggles as a video camera.
That's why I set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to by a dedicated video camera for all my work on the channel here. Many of you have already donated and I am deeply grateful for your support! For those who would like to help me eradicate the evils of poor autofocus, you can donate any amount you like here: www.gofundme.com/f/passion-for-sound-camera-upgrad…
And, for those wondering why I don't just pay for the gear myself, I've explained that in the link, but the short version is that this is a work tool, not something I would choose to buy for my own enjoyment (that's what the A7R3 is for) and the channel alone can't afford to buy the new setup. As I said, there's more details about the reasoning behind this at the link above.
Once again thank you!!
Warm regards,
Lachlan

We all know that some audiophiles, especially those online, can be a little fiesty! Well, now you can buy a t-shirt, hoodie, cap, sticker or mug to tell the world that you're the friendly kind of audiophile who's safe to talk to. :D

Hello audiophiles and music lovers!
I have decided to seek some assistance from the community for an upgrade of camera gear that I just can't seem to squeeze into the channel's budget at the moment.
For many years now, I have been filming on a Sony A7R Mk3 camera which is a photography-first camera, not a video camera. It has a few major issues as a video camera:
1) It lacks a fold-out screen so I can't see what's going on without adding an external display
2) When you add an external display, the camera loses key autofocus functionality that means it often focuses on the wrong things!
3) It's big which makes it less ideal for getting 'action shots' of me interacting with gear, walking around HiFi shows, etc.
So, I am trying to upgrade to the Sony ZV-E1 camera and the Sony ECM-M1 microphone for those times that I am out and about, producing content from a location where I don't have my normal studio mic available. In short, I am looking to upgrade the range of content and the quality of content I can produce for you and I'd love your help because it would take about 3 months to save up for this camera assuming I had no other expenses, but I do already have expenses to keep the channel running so, in reality, it would be more like 6-months away and I am keen to upgrade things sooner if you'll assist.
Thank you for reading and an even bigger thank you if you choose to contribute to this fundraiser via this link: gofund.me/25dade06.
How ever much I raise, it will ALL go towards improving the gear I have for content creation and therefore result in better videos for your viewing pleasure.
Warmest regards and my sincere thanks!
Lachlan

If you'd gone to buy Ray Tubes KT88 Selects from my store, you probably thought I'd lost the plot (and maybe I had). The pricing showing was completely wrong for those, but is all fixed now with prices starting from $124.95 AUD for single tubes. Things look a lot more reasonable now. Sorry for the error!!

Hi, I’m Lachlan! With a passion for all things audio and a background that uniquely blends music and technology, I'm here to guide you through the captivating world of audio products.
As someone with a degree in hearing and speech, my love for sound extends beyond just listening. For the last 25+ years, I've immersed myself in the melodies of the piano, violin, and viola, giving me a deep appreciation for the nuances of music. My professional journey in the consumer audio industry only amplified this passion, equipping me with insights and expertise that I'm eager to share with you.
In my world, it's not just about reviewing the latest gadgets; it's about understanding the 'why' behind their sound. Why do certain headphones make a song feel close to heart? What makes a speaker system stand out? I’m here to demystify these questions with a mix of engaging conversation, professional analysis, and a dash of fun and humour where appropriate.
