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?

The very successful record store owner I met when he sold records out of a cardboard box on a street corner, recently gave this response when I told him that I was an audiophile, "Oh, you're one of those guys with a megabuck system and ten records that you play over and over".

I was going to tell him that he could do better than the Technics TT he was using, but changed my mind. No, you're far from being a sound snob; I don't know what it is with record store owners.

Enjoy the music.

Rrog, I was one of those people until I wandered into a high end emporium.
