Post Subject: The banana republic of Audio?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/24/2008
Wojtek,
I do not think that the arrogant and condescending term of Banana Republic is applicable to audio thinking, particularly in today’s development of Western High-End audio. The Western High-End audio is saturated with incredible amount of idiots and uselessly higher they climb in the ladder of public industry recognition the more audio-idiotic they are. I am not kidding – make a trip visiting the listening rooms of the “biggest names” in the Hi-Fi capitals (as far as possible from the Banana Republics) and you will know the true value of your patronizing.
I do support in notion of equitable distribution of idiocy across the Earth BUT I do sincerely feel that among people who are enthusiastic about high-end audio the amount of idiots per capita in the Western audio is unquestionably higher. BTW, I do familiar with honest, “off the record” comments of some VERY substantial names in audio design than do agree that the most interesting audio thinking nowadays is not happen in America. I have a lot of material on this subjects but I do not want to go into is as now. I will leave you with the fact that before 1890 the 86% of patent issued by US Patent Office were issued to individuals who were a first generation of emigrants in this country…
