- JP>to being one of these types. You use the term spoil in an
- JP>almost negative connotation - I think the correct word
- JP>would be "alter."
-
- My idea of perfect sound is perfect reproduction therfore to alter is to
- spoil. However, I have trouble believing that small things such as bass &
- treble control have enough effect on the sound for anyone to tell the
- difference.
-
- JP>I realize that. I've heard some really exceptional home audio systems
- JP>only a Pre-amp/Power Amp, 2 speakers, and a single play CD
- JP>player in the $8000 range - you would swear that you are
- JP>watching a band it's so well reproduced.
-
- I honestly don't think that price is much of a factor. I know a doctor
- who spent $30000 on his home system, and I had heard better systems that
- were only about $5000.

- JP>CF> Ya, theres good money in that, but who's gonna pay someone even a
- JP>CF> an hour for 200 hours just to have a system installed?
- JP>
- JP>Pay a visit to Encore Audio or Audio Concepts sometime and
- JP>speak to an installer - he will show you these types of
- JP>people - the pictures of the installs, and if you're lucky
- JP>what he is doing right now.

- JP>I worked with a close friend on it all - I gave him $150
- JP>for his efforts in helping me with the project. He didn't
- JP>want anything, he enjoyed it as well. We have the trophies
- JP>to show for our efforts. If I had to pay it would have been out of my

- JP>You would be surprised to find that there are a lot of people who will
- JP>$8000 just for the install. One of our local people sent
- JP>his porsche to Calgary for an install of this nature
- JP>recently. Most shops charge $40/hr - and the thing is that
- JP>there is enough work on one car to keep one person busy for
- JP>6 to 8 weeks. You might be lucky to do 5 cars in a year.
- JP>There are at least 5 people a year in the city of Calgary
- JP>who will pay this - the actual number is probably 100 to
- JP>200 people.
-
- I wouldn't. That's the type of thing that I would enjoy doing myself.
- I can see where a lot of rich people would though.
