Five things a rig must prove.

Specifications are testimony; music is cross-examination. Below: the five proofs every chain in this house has to pass, the tracks that interrogate each one, and the scope showing what you should be hearing. No burn-in ritual required — your ears do the burning-in.

PROOF 01 · WEIGHT

REFERENCE TRACE · NOT TO SCALE · OBVIOUSLY

Bass you feel in the sternum, not the eardrum. If the room doesn't get heavier, return the cable.

Why So Serious?Hans ZimmerThe famous low-end descent — a structural inspection for your floor, your seal, your resolve.

AngelMassive AttackA bassline with a predator's patience. Texture down where most rigs only rumble.

High gain, volume at "respectful." R2R because numbers should pass through a ladder of actual resistors before becoming feelings.

Mobile detachment: ZERO:RED IEMs off a ddHiFi dongle — the away kit for a rig that took the home game seriously.
