I go all he way back to when music came over the AM radio, clipped,
attenuated, stomped, squashed, and premasticated.
The "stereo" of my day wasn't stereo (yet) and we called it Hi-Fi (for high
fidelity) and we built our own amps or assembled Heathkits.
So now (according to Steve Guttenberg) we are back to stomped and
pre-chewed, except around LAU where we all still roll our own one way or
another.

It's funny: not that I've ever really done music professionally (gigs for
beer doesn't rise to that level in my opinion), but I actually ruined my
last original project by mixing it through earbuds. I was just really used
to the way they sounded and thought they were fine. Played back the mix on
a real stereo and almost blew out the subwoofer. (Maybe the dubsteppers
would have appreciated it if it were in the key of wom.) But on the earbuds
it sounded awesome...
I'm not sure if that means I agree with him or if I just think those
gall-darn kids need to get off my lawn, dagnabit.

The latter Rob. ;-) But all that mention does bring fond memories of some
of the gear I threw together in the late 50's to listen to music. Home
made Dynaco amplfiers, honking big Karlson speaker cabinets, Fairchild
Battleship turntables, Weathers capacitative cartridges, all of the above,
I was there too.
