| Uh-oh. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I am preparing you in advance for an impassioned, angry debate with a caller. | |
| The following call is wrong. | |
| Trigger warning. | |
| Roy, Valley Village, I presume California? | |
| That's correct. | |
| Hello. | |
| Poor Roy. | |
| All right, let the drummer go. | |
| Yeah, go ahead. | |
| Yes, Valley Village, California. | |
| Not impassioned, but disagreeing. | |
| No, no, I was kidding about it. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| A couple of weeks ago, you said that electronics in a sound system, an audio system, are more important, or most important, perhaps, than the loudspeakers. | |
| I disagree. | |
| It shows that even a kind, music-loving, bright man can be wrong. | |
| And I'm referring to you. | |
| Listen, I have... | |
| My system is living proof, but I will give you just a simple... | |
| You don't have to be an audiophile to understand this. | |
| Garbage in, garbage out. | |
| Basically all speakers today are good. | |
| Some are great. | |
| No question. | |
| But it all depends. | |
| I tell you a simple experiment. | |
| A friend of mine has $15,000 speakers, which sounds like a fortune to most everybody listening now. | |
| But for audiophiles, that is a bargain speaker. | |
| $15,000 speakers. | |
| Obviously, not each, but for the two. | |
| And I put them in a system with $100,000 of electronics. | |
| The speakers were of a different category. | |
| One did not know how great they were. | |
| And they rivaled speakers costing $45,000. | |
| So I have lived this realization that electronics are more important than speakers. | |
| What goes in is what matters. | |
| You can't be better than the signal that goes in. | |
| I don't disagree with that. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, anyway, listen, thank you. |
