However, for all of those who can't even watch the video because of bandwidth allowance, here it is on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpQTnp4nvtw

(Give it a few minutes to process.)

Well, shoot, usage violation because of the length. And my first vid as a member of YouTube, too

. I'll put it up on a server, temporarily (knowing the Head-Fi community). I also tried some other upload sites, but it was too big.

Yes it does. There are 5 people downloading right now.

EDIT: Oh, maybe you mean the video doesn't play? It's a .mov file, might want to try QuickTime?

Mental illness is the only way to describe this behaviour. One of those guys was saying his system cost £200,000. For our friends across the pond, that is about $400,000. The old guy's system cost a mere 220,000 euros ($300,000).

What the film producer should have done is put a $1,000 system next to the joke systems, put blindfolds on those guys and see if they could pick out the "cheap and nasty" $1,000 system.

Here is their site

I have long been a fan of reading their website and honestly...as much as some of the sums paid may be outlandish, these guys know what they are talking about and are wonderful to converse with.

Hi all,

We are very humbled indeed from your nice comments!

Since, the film caused a lot of interest, we have prepared an informative page about this.

IMHO this page is equally very interesting. There are a lot of pictures, film scenes, links to the "protagonists" audio systems and 2 links for watching the 20 min documentary (just in case one of them gets out of banwidth...). There are also links to discussions in about 20 forum topics all over the world about the film.

http://aca.gr/event06-3.htm

Enjoy

PS: I see there is a third source to the film from "youtube"...
God, this gets out of hand!!!
