Re: Something is very wrong in audioland: yesterday,

I know exactly what you are talking about. A guy at work was talking to me about "audio" and raving about his ultra super great fantastic music system. Turns out that it isn't even a surround home theater system but his PC sound card hooked to a processor of some kind.

I suggested that he come over some weekend and we'd sit around and listen to my stereo. He said something to the effect of "naw, them old tube stereos are no good. They just buzz and hum". When I suggested that he listen to a good tube amp that didn't do that he opined that his audio has to be better cause it has SIX speakers.

Somehow, in his mind, more speakers equals "better" sound. He excitedly repeated several times that his has SIX speakers. You gotta hear it he urged. I politelly declined. I could have made more progress talking to a brick wall. There is none so blind as he who will not see.
