Just please understand if you walk into my room and hear the chinese teahouse court orchestra playing nine inch nails cover songs - I didn't bring that disk - kindly excuse yourself and come back in a half hour or so. And bring something pleasant to listen to.
I really do feel sorry for the RMAF exhibitor who's spent thousands of dollars to be there and must sell at least one more $80,000 speaker between the show and the end of the year to break even for that year. Just as he cues the bad music guy's disk the Stereophile reviewer whose assigned to do a feature story on "obscenely overpriced speakers that only an audiosnob would buy" walks into the room, sits for 12 seconds, and quietly leaves.
Fortunately we don't have that pressure at the LSAF, and we can tolerate a few minutes of bad music, laugh to ourselves about it, and find that Mr Bad Music is a nice guy whose musical tastes are just different from ours.
