Jul 6, 2008 - Why do I never come across female audiophiles?? What's with the whole stereo hating wife thing?? The money some women spend on hair a year is enough to buy a decent cartridge!I've just ordered one of the turntables in this video and I'm a part-time working student. I wonder if I'm crazy?

Jul 6, 2008 - I can certainly relate to the emotion transmitted by good audio. I've you've never heard it 'it all sounds the same' would be a natural reflex, only it's not all the same.The money spent is outlandish, but as someone mentioned: spending it on cars is silly, and some people will consume it in drugs. These people are looking for an uplifting experience, I can't see anything wrong with that.

Jul 6, 2008 - This is by far, one of the most polished treatments on the subject of audio that I have ever seen, so thanks.One question that the filmmakers might have asked would have been whether or not, or how frequently, these serious Greek audiophiles listen to LIVE music.For investments like theirs, they certainly could afford tickets to some phenomenal events in Greece or anywhere else!I just loved this film!Congratulations to Ken Barnes and the audio club that fostered them.

Jul 6, 2008 - These people are the Greek versions of the British Plane Spotters. The Greeks tried to put the plane spotters in prison. Make of that what you will...

Jul 6, 2008 - well they didn't go to a highly secretive military base in times of heightened security (9/11) and take pics right next to the 'no photos' signs, plus ignoring verbal warnings..you dont have to be from the middle east to be subjected to the law..

U can have gold ears only in 20 years ;) Better buy new ears in hospital.

Jul 6, 2008 - DJPeter5on for your knowledge life does not stop at 20 KHz. There are countless parameters in music, some of them hidden deeply into a mans mind.

Jul 6, 2008 - Incorrect, just being able to hear to 20kHz doesn't dictate how music is perceived and enjoyed. There's more to music reproduction than merely frequency response, If these men didn't still enjoy music then why are they so passionate about obtaining high fidelity? Because of the love of music

Jul 6, 2008 - Its amazing on how much time and money a die hard Audiophile will spend on squeezing out every last detail from a recording. But those featured in the video are right. Specs and Hardware mean nothing, its all about the music.
