Ridiculous listening room

I bet he would be the type of guy who'd jump in the backseat if you were driving with him somewhere... so it'd look like you are a "driver" - know what I mean?

having someone sit next to you defeats the point of the whole system altogether. A person on either or both sides will detract from hearing the monitors accurately, especially for someone with sharp listening skills like this guy.

also, the average person would never be able to appreciate a system like this. They'd show up and throw on their ipod and never hear the difference.

i tend to agree with you there. i'm an electrical engineer and can think of absolutely no reason to suspend the cables off the floor specifically... unless i am just not experienced enough in SUPER high end audio. but basically i think it's a pile of audiophile crap that is spewed at us...

anyways, it is a big hypocritical since on the back of all his pre-amp gear there is a big pile of cable mess and cable interference is way worse than any sort of floor vibration i'd wager, plus signal cables overlaping, and sometimes runnign parallel to the power cables, although the power cables look to be shielded...
