Get In Touch
Questions, suggestions, disagreements, review requests or financially irresponsible recommendations are all welcome.
The Reluctant Audiophile started with one pair of headphones and a perfectly sensible budget.
Neither survived.
If you'd like to say hello, suggest a review, recommend a product I definitely don't need, or explain why I'm completely wrong about something, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.

Please Note
I cannot explain where all your money went.
I am not responsible for sudden DAC purchases.
"Endgame" is usually temporary.
Buying another cable is unlikely to solve everything.
I've probably made the same mistake already.

A few things worth knowing
- Honest reviews only
- No paid positive reviews
- Products don't need to be expensive to be interesting
- If I love something, I'll say so
- If I don't, I'll say that too
- The audience comes first
The goal is helping people enjoy music, not helping marketing departments sleep better.
Response Times
When Will I Hear Back?
I aim to reply within a few days.
Unless I'm testing gear, writing reviews, browsing equipment I don't need, or convincing myself I definitely don't need another upgrade.
You didn't go looking for this hobby.
It found you.
No support tickets. No automated responses. No corporate jargon.
Just one audiophile trying to make sense of the hobby, one questionable purchase at a time.
