This dude claims to be some kind of audio engineer and he thinks a CD player works just like a record player. Data goes off the disk, into a buffer in the DAC and out to your speakers. If the disk misses a read, it waits until it comes back around and reads it again. It doesn't send vibrations. How dumb is this guy?

Yeah I know he loves those stupid things, too. I have to say, Butcher Block Acoustics looks like some really nice stuff. Like this block of wood for only 50 bucks.

If you ask me, that $50 "now playing" block of wood is quite a bargain. Hell, buy a set of ten for Shootout Night. Line up all of your Steely Dan covers. Be that asshole who purchased many blocks of wood. Go on, you know you want to. What do I care?
Man, that is some ugly shit, Daddy.
I thought SHites are allergic to carpet under their hi-fi’s?? Also, is that a ghost reflected in the tv screen or just what STeve looks like in 2020 taking a “selfie”?

I bought a mini-easel (the sort of thing you use to keep a cookbook open on the right page whilst cooking) that does exactly the same thing for probably a tenth of the price.

No doubt sTeVe has some fucking compulsions when it comes to Audiophool. However, on this one I get the vibe he’s being a Shill...

My guess: Symposium Acoustics finally asked for their loaner equipment back after several years at Chez Hoofy. After that, Butthurt STeVE couldn't help but disparage the stuff.

From his FB page...
I was asked if I had another "sitting at the counter star spot" story. Sure, got a bunch but I remember this because the poor waitress almost passed out. It was 1976, a little past midnight, I had just finished at KLAC Radio at the Metromedia Bldg. on Wilshire. I had school the next morning but I was starving so I drove my little VW Bug to the diner on Wilshire that was so yummy. What was it called? Edit: Dolores Drive-In, Wilshire and La Cienega. I sat at the counter, the place was almost empty. After about 5 minutes there was a stir among the waitresses, someone famous had walked in. I heard one of them whisper softly, “Robert De Niro.” Sure enough, he strolled in alone and sat right next to me at the counter. My waitress was so overcome with emotion she actually had to sit down for a minute to gather herself. Since there was no one else around of course for some reason he sat right next to me. He possibly wanted to talk, I wasn't sure. The waitress took his order with a trembling voice (burger, strawberry malt) and I felt I had to say something so I asked my usual "star spot" question: "So, what are you working on?" He looked me over for a second and then answered that he had just finished filming "New York, New York" and was resting. In my mind I didn't know how to respond, recalling that his last two movies were the cinema classics “The Godfather Part II" and "Taxi Driver." I started to get that starstruck feeling myself and I wished my mom had been there; she liked him. At any rate, I asked him how long it took him to recover in between projects, a nice safe question. He turned to me, extended his hand and introduced himself to me. Meanwhile the waitress looked like she needed someone to fan her with a menu or something. Totally overcome. We chatted for a while about this and that, ate, shook hands and the next film I saw him in was the classic "The Deer Hunter" and then "Raging Bull." Yeesh, that was a great burger sharing hour with a great actor. He picked up the tab. I told everyone at school the next day and no one believed me. What would De Niro be doing all by himself at midnight in a diner?? Heh, hanging out with me, of course. Onward.

His classmates had no doubt been subjected to his pathological lying for some time before hearing this load of crap.

Robert De Niro was terminally shy in the seventies as related in Peter Biskind’s book. And he also had just shot Novecento at that time.

Although I think this whole tale is bullshit, it could explain the inspiration for Rupert Pupkin.

I was asked if I could make up another "sitting at the counter star spot" story.
