I was in Best Buy last year considering Martin Logan ESL's and I was talking to a young guy who works there and I wanted to hear the ML speakers and this guy say's "sure" and he starts getting ready to demo these electrostatic speakers by connecting his I-phone to a receiver with a USB cord!!!!
I said'you're kidding, right?"
He was going to play his MP3 files from his phone on the speakers!!
I tried to explain that the sound quality of that source is crap.
He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.
He was genuinely bewildered at what I was saying.
As far as I could tell,he was completely unaware that there was any such thing as sound quality AT ALL!!!
He said he does all his listening on earbuds and all his source material is MP3.
I wanted to take him back to my house and let him listen to a MFSL original master vinyl LP thru a Marantz reference integrated amp.
It would have been interesting to see his reaction.
