The kind folks at Goldenear thought enough of my review to feature my playlist across their social media accounts.

If you’ve ever what I listen to when doing a review, this list is a good glimpse.

In a recent review for The Vinyl Attack, Chris Guinan couldn't get enough of the GoldenEar SuperSub X, saying his audio "sounded better and made me more involved."

So we asked Chris to curate a playlist of tracks that showcase the very best of the SuperSub X - a low-end-punching compilation we're calling "Two Subs Are Better Than One!"
