Audiophiles dreams on History Channel
On "Modern Marvels," on the History Channel they are looking at all the toys us audiophiles drool over.

CD's, digital cameras, and now MP3 players.

1. Watch it now

Audiophiles drool over AUDIO - real life "damn I can't believe music can sound that good" two channel audio. Tube amps, pre-amps that are as quiet as churchmouses, custom power cords, etc.

Any true old-time audiophile would throw an MP3 player in the trash. The "newer" guys are a bit more accepting, but whadda they know? They think they invented 5 channel surround sound - does the term "Quad" ring a bell?

Whew - rant over. :)

2. Ummm../ none of the aforementioned fall into the "audiophile" category
Edited on Mon Apr-26-04 07:18 PM by Billy Burnett
MP3? Audiophile? LOL

Audiophiles are using class A tube preamps & power amps, tri-amping, ribbon tweeters, and vinyl. Plus any CD player aproaching "audiophile" status has tube preamps too.

Tubes are getting short in supply.... prices going waaayyy up.
