| Audio Hell | A good article about how to judge a hifi. I find it particulary interesting in that it does not directly refer to flat earth audio and uses different terminology, but is talking about the same thing. |
Various Articles about Audionotes design philosophies. |

| Manufactures: Fortunately when I started compiling a list of companies that I think still follow the “flat earth” ideology, there were more than I thought there would be. I want to give credit to people and companies who care about bringing good music reproduction into the home. |
