If Neil Young doesn't lie, then should I believe every person in TV ads tha= t they are telling the truth, too? No, I do not. People will say anything, = even lie, for money. Neil doesn't go up against any audio expert, you just = find him blabbering to dumb talk show hosts. I suspect that part of Neil Young's problem is recruitment. He seems to be very sensitive to some forms of distortion and totally immune to other forms of distortion as a consequence. It's clear that the way he hears is not the same way other people hear. Which, sadly, is an occupational hazard. And, no, I'm not saying PONO doesn't sound good, but you find his FRIENDS = climbing out of a car, bragging how great the songs sounded w/o mentioning = what they were listening to. Maybe you need a $2000 amplifier and $1000 wor= th of speakers for PONO to sound impressive in a car. Nothing's going to sound impressive in a car, not even the Borodin Quartet playing in your back seat. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
