RE: Alan Parsons Interview

"Beatles, Pink Floyd Engineer Alan Parsons Rips Audiophiles
Alan Parsons, producer, musician and sound engineer of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, says audiophiles overpay for equipment while ignoring room acoustics."

"I don’t listen to much music recreationally - it’s almost always for professional applications. I do listen in the car, but that’s about it."

"Hi-fi people spend huge amounts of money for tiny improvements, and pro sound guys will say, “I can spend half as much and get the results I need.”

"I’m simply not very familiar with the latest domestic hi-fi equipment. I don’t go to hi-fi tradeshows and I don’t have sophisticated equipment in the family areas of my house for music, but there are things that make sense like good speakers and a decent amp."

He says he doesn't listen to music other that in cars, He says he is not familiar with modern day equipment. But we are supposed to believe that he knows what he is talking about when it comes to reproduction equipment. Reminds me of someone who works at the Caterpillar factory who thinks they are a heavy equipment operator!

I call BS on Alan Parsons article and his annoying Alan Parsons Project albums. I think he had too much nose candy and his headphones turned up too loud.
