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?

Next time you go shopping or have a component home, let them hear the AB comparison. My girlfriend has been very adept at picking up on the differences between components when presented in this manner, as has my sister and other friends. Of course, she still has a system that consists of a Sony cd player, Pioneer receiver and Bose speakers. I have to admit, though, it sounds pretty good, especially considering the effort and $$$ spent. The other thing is that even when people can hear the difference, they may still question whether it is worth the cost and aggravation spent.
