@dan In the scale of stultifyingly pretentious bullshittery, audiophiles are just above cryptobros and just below wine bores.

@hedders @dan electric guitar players are somewhere there too. „My guitar sounds better cause the body wood (which physically cannot influence the electrically created signal) was cut on a new moon by vestal virgins.“ It was about that time when I decided not to further pursue my plans to become a professional luthier and become a code monkey instead.

(Autocorrect changed code monkey to coffee monkey and that wouldn’t have been wrong either.)

I can't believe this is over a decade old, but do you remember the $485 ($650 in today's $$) wooden volume knob?

@ManiacalV @hedders @dan I learned the profession of a radio- and television technician 1990. one of the professors told everybody that he only uses waveguides instead of the usual speaker cables in his car (!) so the „subfrequent eddies don’t interfere with the dynamics (!)“ of his car cd player.

@ManiacalV That is truly stellar. Even better than the CD demagnetiser.

@ManiacalV honestly never heard of it but it sounds terrifyingly plausible …

@hedders Pretty sure it was a gag item, but maybe not...

@ManiacalV I mean, it must be a joke, mustn't it? Right?

@walsonde @hedders @dan Okay but having a guitar that was cut on a new moon by ancient pagan priestesses sounds pretty awesome, even if the sound of the guitar is entirely unchanged.
