Stumbled over this old post over at the Slim Devices (now Logitech) forum. It was a response by Sean Adams, Slim Devices' founder and former technical lead, to a post with the subject "SB3 interference due to titanium dental implant?".

It became known as his 'response-O-matic'. I think it speaks for itself.

OK, I think we all do it - discerning and nuanced listeners buying stuff without ever having heard it.

Have we all done it?

I confess.

I consider alot of digital purchases to be a little bit of a toss off, so I've bought a couple 25 dollar Sonys and two 40 dollar Phillips players recently without an audition. Same with a Pioneer universal player (249.00,) and a Marantz SACD five disc universal player and one of their single disc Hi Fi SACD models when they hit the sale list at Music Direct.

The PraT Project is a continuing nerd undertaking that is trying to explore the realm of subjective terminology and looking for ways of talking about them experientially.

So.

That term,

There used to be a small chain of shops in Wash. DC area called Needle in a Haystack. They specialized, narrowly, in phono cartridges and replacement styli. I would routinely bring in my removable stylus and they would inspect its condition through their microscope (and let the customer look too). Made it clear if the stylus needed replacement.
Why doesn't that service exist anymore? Or does it??

For the music only - just listen and forget the Jesus pics...
