Re: Reasonable insanity

Yes, I heard that exact type of pitch being made by some of the manufacturer's reps. But one could hear many forms of distortion in many systems no matter how loud or how quiet. That's just the nature of audio.

Aside from hurting my ears, the thing that was bugging me was that some exhibitors didn't seem to be able to discern that their systems sounded more realistic at lower levels anyway.

Certainly the same kind of thing happens at all shows, including VSAC. I guess we all key on a certain type of customer, who's taste matches ours, and set the level accordingly.

I will generally ask a customer what level they prefer when I do an audition here at the Chateau, but at a show where you have several people in the room at once, this is not necessarily possible. Regardless, I think we all have an obligation not to damage our customer's hearing.

Maybe I'll just wear earplugs next time...
