Hey RICH Audiophiles

 Why don't one of you incredibly wealthy audiophiles whose systems I drool over every day start an Audiophile Rental business?
 Imagine how easy to simply rent a set of speakers or amp for a nominal fee so us POOR enthusiasts could demo it in our own home/system without restocking fees or massive depreciation when reselling..No more sitting in traffic,wasting gas & polluting the environment running from dealer to dealer only to be greeting by horrible listening conditions that give you ABSOLUTELY no idea how a piece of gear will actually sound in your own listening room...

I saw a documentary (sort of) about the Joplin 356. The guy who wrote "Mercedes Benz" also wrote "Where Did Vincent Van Gogh?" And, I had a CD Walkman with a line out! It died, as did a more recent and inferior model...now I just use my phone.

Glupson...I was using Grado SR80s as part of my bedtime reading and listening ritual until recently upgrading to the SR325e...an astonishingly great sounding piece of gear that makes the SR80s seem reticent and low-fi, highly recommended...my last Sony Discman died last year rendering me less Kaitty-like in two ways.

Oh no! I’ve been SPEAKER SHAMED by Kaitty which in the context of this thread doesn’t make any sense, but desperate responses rarely do.

News flash: The ever re-posting Kaitty has lost his ability to detect irony. I suggest that he request that the orderlies put him closer to a window for some air, and remove the dromedary based children's books from his reach. He can thank me later.

I think a system costing hundreds of thousands of dollars can still sound great. Also, I'd rather mention how relatively inexpensive my fabulous sounding system is as that makes me seem real smart. Win win.

I've loved 911s for years, still do, and then drove a Cayman GT4. One of the great bargains in the "go fast" car world, uses a 911 motor in a mid engine little car, and gets everything right. Lower cost high end audio gear takes a while to assemble, but rewards you anyway...buy some used things, and ignore most advice until you check things out for yourself as there is a lot of nonsense hurled around here.

I often adjust the sound to my tastes at concerts because I'm running the sound...a benefit of that job, and I'm often set up near a back door so If things get weird I can run away.
