The record player isn’t in the picture. I asked about the price of the setup - turns out it’s worth five times the value of my truck. The vacuum tubes there are from the 1940s.
I love my job - I get to meet so many interesting people. Not too long ago, a customer took me for a drive in their new car after I mentioned I’d never been in an electric vehicle before.
They have an extremely expensive hi-fi system… And listen to records?
Yikes.
I have a pretty decent setup and I also listen to records. They’re mainly a social activity though, get some guys over, everyone brings some records, we toss em on and hang around talking about them. There’s something “fun” about the physical media that isn’t captured by clicking a file on my computer.
I definitely also click the file more often than not.
Just don’t try to make technical sense of this.
I hope they at least use crystal pyramids to support their cables.
Is that actual “audiophile” nonsense? I sure hope so, that’s a new one on me. If so they are starting to cross over into accidentally cool (cool but verifiably utterly useless, to be clear).
I’m not completely sure about those, but they’re certainly close enough to stuff I’ve seen.
