sound at the record store


Went into a record store today to look around. Now I guess I AM A SOUND SNOB OR SOMETHING BUT CHECK THIS OUT....THE OWNER OF THE SHOP WHOM I KNOW PRETTY WELL JUST GOT IN A DEEP GROOVE BLUE NOTE JACKIE MCLEAN ALBUM JACKIES BAG. VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND INDEED. HE SAYS CHECK IT OUT I CAN SELL IT TO YOU FOR $300,IT IS WORTH $800 HE SAYS.I SAY PUT IT ON AND LET ME LISTEN. HE PUTS IT ON AND HIS SYSTEM SOUNDS LIKE SHIT...I MEAN TOTAL MUDDLED CRAP AND HE SAYS SOUNDS GREAT HUH?

I JUST CANT BELIEVE THAT OWNERS OF RECORD STORES WHO ARE AROUND MUSIC AND RECORDS ALL DAY WILL PUT UP WITH THAT SOUND.IS IT ME?

You people that responded about not playing a record on their inferior equipment are wound a little too tight. One quick play on their (insert cheap TT brand name here) is not going to do any more damage to that thirty year old record than Jimbo Billybob has already done with his (insert cheap TT brand name here).

It's worth it to me to find out if it's even music that I want to own. If I already know the recording, looking at the condition will suffice for me.
