Bad news for audiophiles?

"The really bad news for audiophiles is the disreputable pseudo-techno-babble spouted by people who don't know the first thing about electronics or bio-acoustics, many of whom use that to bill their customers of thousands of dollars.

If you disagree, then I have a basilar membrane based bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you."

Whoa! What!  Where is that coming from? 

from the title

Go Randy, go! That’s telling them.

Dave sez ...

" Nor is there a standard for rating the beauty of a flower, the sensation of an embrace, or the satisfaction of a job well done. You just know it..."

Exactly, Dave ... and very well put.

In addition to loving quality audio to play my music collection on, I also have a taste for quality beer, bourbon and scotch. I don't know the first thing about brewing beer, but I can tell the difference between the swill known as "Bud Lite" and a quality craft beer. 

Along those same lines, there is coffee. We have the swill produced by Folgers and served at your local Starbucks, and then there are those of us who have learned to home-roast our own coffee.  

We order green coffee beans over the Internet and roast them in our own home roasters. The beans come from small, family owned organic farms from all of the coffee producing regions on the planet. To my taste, the Central American coffees are the cat's meow; Guatemalan coffees being my favorite.  

If you want to find out what coffee SHOULD taste like, you can find out everything you need to know by going to this site:

If you need advise on which roaster or brewer to buy just ask me. 

Again:   "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."

Hi oregonpapa,

I once bought my wife some of that "monkey poop" coffee for a Christmas stocking stuffer. It was fantastic, except I had to wait until we drank it all to tell her (and my daughters) of its origin. Back to Starbucks after that.  lol

Best to you oregonpapa,
Dave
