Bad news for audiophiles?

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?

- food tastes are influenced by the cutlery used, and the effects of the frequencies in music on enhancing different tastes. Taking a swing at the audiophile market would be a public service.

Anybody want to ship him some DACs at wildly different price points?
