I8TheLastPieceaPizza@alien.topBtoAudiophile•Is their a subreddit to laugh at Audiophile non sense and myths ?English1·2 years agoWhat’s funny to me is that, as a former salesperson at a big box Home theater area, I know how awful the wiring and accessory markups are, so I avoid them at all times now.
And yet, I recall back in my car audio enthusiast days how the absurd wires were practically the whole point, and were valued as “awesome” because they looked fantastic even though they clearly provided no added benefit. I recall glass-boxed connectors of gold plugs, stupid wires like 4 gauge neon stuff running from the amp to the sub, etc. And neon lights just to make the unnecessary wiring look incredible.
Maybe what I’m saying is that my LR speaker wires cost $1,000/meter, they’ll sound much if they also glow in the dark.
I think this is just the photo for the facebook marketplace ad, or maybe the buy nothing group.
In terms of dollars that it costs, or amount of money I’d need to have so that my spouse doesnt ask how much it costs?
I8TheLastPieceaPizza@alien.topBtoAudiophile•Advice to budding audiophiles: Trying gear in person, ideally at home, is with 10x as much as all the internet reviews in the worldEnglish1·2 years agoMy mantra is “Internet reviews can often help me avoid a horrible decison. They can never guarantee the right decision.”
Ok I lied, I just made that up - but it more or less reflects how I have used the internet for research over the years.
That, plus it’s where I learn this “one simple trick” that my nemesis hates.
I have only heard the Posche high end stuff. It is excellent, but I am only comparing to Bose or JBL systems in other vehicles.
