I assume that most of us have been audio nuts for many years. Has anyone else pulled off a sound-system prank or have an amusing audio story you could share?
I don't know the full details, but I heard that the Valkyrie
loudspeaker built years ago by GNP (Gross National Product of Pasadena) was named after a prank where Ride of the Valkyries was played extremely loud the night before Finals at the Cal Tech Dormitory.
I personally shut the power off in the dorm room of a guy playing Nugent's Stranglehold way too loud...he thought he blew up his system.
The first time listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall, I had fallen asleep, and was startled awake when the television was smashed. I swore somebody was breaking into my apartment.
