William Bryant feels a chord named Isis is a bridge too far.
"Does anyone know why more than one well respected manufacturer of high end audio equipment would market a line of cable under the name ISIS? For my son, who recently served in USMC special forces, that name would have the same appeal as NAZI had to my WWII vet father-in-law.

I don’t mean to stir up anything political. It’s not about how a word gets ruined by what it’s associated with; it’s that this does indeed happen. I just can’t imagine why anyone would give a product a name with icky associations.

Quisling
Benedict Arnold
KKK
Sauron
Pol Pot
Koresh
Dodge (jk!)

Aren’t there a few names we just shouldn’t put on our products?"

There are so many valid reasons to hate Audio Note.

I recently met someone whose hippy parents named her Isis. She had a lot of fun stories.

"I must say though, artists like Kurt or Thelonious Monk who people think have something to say of the highest importance but are really just suicidal or insane sort of freak me out. Why? Well, everyone thought Monk was really "out there" but they followed his lead and jazz changed. Turns out he really was insane and was finally locked up. Does that mean that the jazzers were wrong to follow him? No, but still." - STeVE

Got some pretty strong looks of disapproval.

I had a shootout and discovered Double Fantasy sounds best on my Mark David Chapman turntable.
