As enamored as Blank is of sound in all its forms, he doesn't consider himself an audiophile. In his own studio, he listens to big JBLs—he doesn't know what model—alongside a pair of PSI Audio A23-M studio monitors he describes as "very linear, very one-on-one." One-on-one means that "what you give in, comes out," he explains. The speakers are driven by Electrocompaniet amplifiers. He has less lofty standards at home, where he listens to a Sonos setup. He's never pined for a high-end system. The ones he's heard are "too much hi-fi," he says. "I hear it as—I don't know ... exaggerated."
