Audiophiles get NO respect

This is not a new observation but it still hurts. Here's an excerpt from an article in the latest GQ (Jan, p. 188) on the problem with overly loud cd mastering:

"There's a lot of stuff written about CD mastering that ventures into the realm of the audiophile, where squabbles over coaxial cables and sub pre-outs are conducted by the kind of men you suspect may never have seen a lady naked, or at least not in the flesh."

Ouch! LOL!!

That sounds just like the quote in the December issue of Stereophile (p 69)

"There's a lot of stuff written in GQ magazine that ventures into the realm of the metrosexual, where squabbles over mens facial cream and perfumes are conducted by the kind of men you suspect may never have seen a lady naked, or at least not in the flesh.

I see naked ladies all the time, via Satellite and the audio is not so good so I only turn on one of my McIntosh 2102 amps with the latest NOS tubes with it all going HDMI to my NEC Plasma and the picture is full High Definition.

What's Audio got to do with it... when they are using so terrible original mics,etc.

I humbly disclose that since the age of about 16, I always used impressive audio gear and good music to pull chicks, including my now wife who is tall, thin, good humored, well educated, and strikingly beautiful.

In particular, planar speakers were always good for this.
