them derisively described as “audiophools.” I’ve seen some horrifically
expensive audio gear whose specifications are rather mediocre compared to
modern solid state gear. I've used that word myself! Almost 20 years ago, I was
walking down the street in Zurich on my way to speak to an AES Chapter meeting
(a stopover returning from the convention which had been held in Vienna), and
we passed a shop catering to these folks with a monstrous speaker cable with a
price tag of more than $1,000 (in Swiss Francs). The cable couldn't have been
20 ft long. I took a photo of it, but managed to lose the camera on the flight
back to Chicago.When people ask me about stereo gear, I direct them to
mainstream stuff of moderate cost, and tell them to use the money they've saved
to buy records by Billie Holiday and Lester Young.73, Jim
