Shortest Product Demo Ever: Had to Hit the Eject Button and Get the #*@% Out of There?


I recall in the early 80’s an employee of mine was really hot on a speaker line and insisted that I stop by their demo room at an audio show (I’m thinking Conrad Hilton in Chicago?)

I, literally, made it 1 1/2 meters into the room and had to do a full about face and get out of there. The sound was definitely NOT music to my ears.

Later, I finally gave in and reluctantly agreed to bring in the speaker line. The speakers got better over time, as well as the other stuff sending music to them. I developed a fond relationship with the company over many decades, and do performance upgrades on them yet today.

I met this really ugly girl. After dinner she looked a little better. The next day she was acceptable. Now we are married and she is wonderful.

@noromance  A buddy eons ago inquired as to what/why I was attracted to my future spouse....."....y'kno, you could do better...:'

Gave him an earful, but kept it short...

I like her 'cause she listens as much as she talks.

She isn't suggesting what I could do for her, but what we could do together.

She was and still is intelligent, lots of shared interests (including 'well-presented music').

Learned quickly how to remove an LP from its' sleeve, give it a 'wobble' w/out a drop, place and destat it. and how to hand-cue...and reverse that at the end.

Liked that I had a cat, my studio at the time was neat, and my bed was made.

Cooked better than I with more variety ( has only blown 3 meals in ourt time,, one
of which a chicken dish that even our cats walked away from....which we both cracked up laughing over....)

We try to fight fair; but not go to bed mad.

Don't call or come by Sunday mornings....we have our own version of 'church'. ;)

I could have done worse. *s*

My old buddy is still single.

Shows are generally fair, you can get good and bad experience both in gear and music, but ultimately i enjoy meeting with friends and have a talk. 

I was at the Florida auto show a couple of years ago when I went into a large room with huge expensive speakers and the dealer had put on a record that made the speakers sound as if they were blown...... I was wondering what he could possibly be thinking.
