At San Jose's The Analog Room, one of my favorite stores. *Sonus Faber
Stradivari speakers, Wavestream V8 amps and preamp, SME TT and arm (I
didn't catch the cartridge). *Sounded great. *It should for that money!

It is well known among people who have actually done the real-world
experiments that the room that speakers are in generally affect sound
quality more than the speakers. In one experiment, two audiophiles
swapped Bose 901s and other more conventionally designed speakers and
still reached that conclusion. If you like the way that certain speakers
sound in a certain store, be prepared to duplicate their listening room
exactly, in your own home.
Picked up a variety of Speakers Corner and Classic Records reissues of
RCA, Mercury, and Decca LPs. *A great store staffed by knowledgeable
and
gracious guys.
The obligatory hyping of vinyl from a true bigot.
The relatively inexpensive Sonus Fabers can sound great in the right
room. You gotta like a company that makes a leather speaker.
Yeccch! *It is well known that Sonus uses overpriced drivers mounted in
hyper-priced enclosures that while scoring high for art, are mediocre at
best from the standpoint of *sound quality. *Great for the new rich with
questionable hearing and taste. Definitely better-sounding than
Bosendorfer speakers, though. ;-)
The mere thought of Sonus Farbers (sic) *has driven Arny once again over
the edge, into the abyss of his envy.

If someone gave me a pair of Sonus Fabers that I had to use (please note the
proper spelling of the name, Harry),

You're definately not one to correct spelling, GOIA. Please don't be
so redeculous in the future. ;-)

it would be like winning the lottery -
I'd *be humiliated. *Everybody with a brain knows that the lottery is just a
voluntary tax paid by people who don't understand the laws of probability
and statistics. Everybody with a brain knows that the Sonus Fabers are
dilettante-bait.

There's just no accounting for preference, GOIA. ;-)

BTW Harry, do you play the lottery?

Here's a twist for you, GOIA: the odds on, say, Powerball are what,
250,000,000-1? Assume that the jackpot is $80 million +. It costs ONE
WHOLE DOLLAR to play. So who cares? I'll throw a buck in against $80+
million even though I know the odds. The funny thing is that even with
those horrible odds somebody seems to win it. I'd take the $80+
million and not feel one ounce of "humiliation".

Maybe you can find a relative to lend you the buck. LOL!

We can assume that if some poor Boy Scout comes by selling raffle
tickets you'd give him a lecture on vice, morality and probablility
(in addition to the superiority of CDs). Then you laugh in his face
and send him on his way. You'd probably feel all superior.

That's why you're an insane turd. ;-)
