3-D Movie Is A Metaphor for Non-Audiophiles


I went to a 3-D IMAX movie last night with my girlfriend and finally she could really understand the difference between a stereo system (a regular movie) and my quest for hi fidelity (the 3-D imaging effect). If you have never seen a 3-D movie, you owe it to yourself.

She already loves listening to Celine Dion on my system really loud but she didn't really "get" the other nuances that true Hi Fi offers. I hope she will start listening more.

What other ways have you found to help the uninitiated understand?

My daughter, being a singer, bring a lot of musicians over. With 8 foot tall Acoustats and a Room Lens in the middle they often ask for a demo and I oblige. Usually they enjoy the demo, ask lots of questions and are open minded since they all use tubed amps. On rare occasions I'm casting pearls before swine and I never lose any sleep over this. I like educating non-audiophiles but I'm non trying to convert the world.
