Bad news for audiophiles?


In new study a bottle of wine priced at $90 tastes better than a bottle of the same wine with price tag of $10.

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 
We are all subject to expectations and preconceptions. However I find a reasonable way to tell. If I think a new something is simply good (better than the old), or bad (worse) - that's when I have to wait. I have to listen more, get used to it, and recognize the plusses and the minuses. Only after that,  can I judge.
Whether your taste runs to $10 wine or $90 wine, either will taste much better if you drink it out of a Synergistic Research Quantum Wineglass.

Hey toolbox,

Have you ever personally tried any Synergistic Research products?
