Audiophiles get NO respect


This is not a new observation but it still hurts. Here's an excerpt from an article in the latest GQ (Jan, p. 188) on the problem with overly loud cd mastering:

"There's a lot of stuff written about CD mastering that ventures into the realm of the audiophile, where squabbles over coaxial cables and sub pre-outs are conducted by the kind of men you suspect may never have seen a lady naked, or at least not in the flesh."

Ouch! LOL!!

I like to know how many ladies this writer is interested in seeing naked...most likely "NONE". That's why he works at GQ...LOL
If you have been to an Audio show you would know the guy is right far too often, while there are many many intelligent well adjusted looking folks there you will also see some pretty nerdy looking spaz's too! Not only are these folks not blessed with good looks or wardrobe skills they also lack social skills so you bet there are some that may never see a naked women........unless their mom doesnt close the bathroom door during a shower! :)
GQ lost it's compass a long time ago. 'Trash talk' is about all that's left in that rag!
That sounds just like the quote in the December issue of Stereophile (p 69)

"There's a lot of stuff written in GQ magazine that ventures into the realm of the metrosexual, where squabbles over mens facial cream and perfumes are conducted by the kind of men you suspect may never have seen a lady naked, or at least not in the flesh.
