Washington Post Article


Just wanted to alert members to an article appearing in the Style section of today's (6/13/01) Wash. Post.It is one of those articles that seems to be recycled every few years ridiculing the excesses of the audiophile community. As is typical it focusses on the bleeding edge fringe of the hobby, profiling a man who is at $140K and counting,is obssesed with stopping hum being produced by his fridge. The article includes some quotes from Deja Vu Audio pointing out to the reporter a $10k turntable and a pair of speakers with "magnet-suspended" tweeters. Just what we needed! My girlfriend described the article as a disturbing glimpse of what I might become. (My system is circa $10K in total.) Thanks again to the mainstream media for shining a light on the seedy underbelly of the audio community.

"Modest home in Mclean....."

I just read in Worth Magazine that the median home price in mclean is 515,000.

I did a gig up there at a church (ussually easy to find right?) but I couldn't find it because the mansions surrounding the church where all bigger! Mclean is not part of my world....but I wish it was.....
