For you HK movie fans, the movie "Infernal Affairs" actually has a scene where the two stars are in an audio store...one suggests a pair of cables, and the other comments how much better it sounds. Reportedly, one of the stars (Andy Lau) became a hardcore audiophile after filming this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/ |
Jim came in to see me when I was working at Nicholson's HI FI in Nashville--he was shooting the movie "The Last Castle" with Robert Redford. I sold him a quite a bit of equipment and got him started (as far as I can tell) into audio madness. It's a funny story, long, if anyone would like to hear it. Larry |
a friend of mine owns a nice pro recording studio is a killer drummer and engineer. he is also sick of music by the time he gets home and wants a vette to work on. I know a lot of other musicians who use boom boxes because they make the money most musicians make and spend too little time at home to tie it up in gear they can't make money with. They do tend to have VERY extensive CD and record collections though |
I read an interview with Tony Levin (bassist for Peter Gabriel and on Black Light Syndrome) where he discusses the Linn system he has. He mentions that high end audio blew him away the first time he heard it, citing a recording he had made where a truck drove by the room he was recording in, and he didn't know the sound of the truck made it onto the recording until he heard it on a high end system. |
