What are some of your guys nerdiest audiophile moments? Those moments where people just go "really?, you actually just said that?".
What's fun is going into a Bose store (used to be one across from where I worked) and getting the spiel from a salesman.
Then starting to ask questions about how they compare to Sennheiser, Beyerdynamics, Grados, AKGs, etc.
You can see the fear in their eyes.
Having my desktop background at work set to a picture of glowing tubes in a dark room, and having to explain what they are, why they are nice sounding, and having them ask with a thousand mile stare: "...what do you mean? High end audio? Why?..."
Also caught myself DESPERATELY trying to explain bitrates and file formats other than MP3 to an 19 year old girl in an office, as simple as possible even a 6 year old would get it.FINALLY after realizing what I was dealing with I said "it just sounds better" she said :"why would I want that?" as she ate spoonfulls of hydrogenated hazelnut spread and hydrogenated peanut butter from their respective jars. No joke. I tried telling her about that hydrogenated crap too....
Every time I bring up the thing about headphones, that they all sound different and their driver principles, the looks I get are bad enough.
these are the future of the human race???????
Hydoga wadda what? I just say "filled with trans fat"
