In Reply to: What is the worst sound you have ever heard? posted by Les Anderson on April 17, 2015 at 09:44:51:
Early audiophile days, about 28 years old then. Some of us tried to form an audiophile club in KC MO. We'd take turns listening to various set ups. Started when a guy discovered Fulton J, Magneplanar Tympani, Linn Sondek LP 12 and moving coils, ARC gear.
So there we go unsuspectingly to an old modest or lower house w creaky front porch.
Owner had a pair of stadium size Altec Lansing A7's, forgot which receiver (large SS) and switched back and forth to Crown DC 300 and 75,
and ran a Technics SP 10 dunno arm and cart but possibly a Stanton. Believe me, 5 seconds listening to hard rock (Stones?) on that set up led to instant deafness, imagine the volume. Then he played some organ pedals and effects LP.
