My original post was in fun, and I hope everyone had fun with their favorite Zappa lines. Zappa is one of those artists I respect and admire but never really enjoyed listening to. He often had fun with his songs, but his thoughts about audio quality can be taken seriously.
I took Frank Zappa’s advice
I’ve never actually heard this album but apparently Frank and I have the same taste. I listen to everything that way.
Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch:
"This album has been engineered to sound correct on JBL 4311 speakers or an equivalent. Best results will be achieved if you set your pre-amp tone controls to the flat position with the loudness control in the off position. Before adding any treble or bass to the sound of the album, it would be advisable to check it out this way first. F.Z."
