Pretty much how I feel. Taking music snobbery to the nth level, where people will doggedly say "But listen! You can HEAR the difference!" even though they know in their heart they can't. Definitely for people with more money than sense.

I had hoped the ad would be on YT but it ain't so let me tell you a story...

Back in the seventies there were radio ads for Pioneer here in Ireland. They'd go like this:

Voice 1: "What do you think of that? Great sound eh?"
Voice 2: "Low-fi."
Voice 1: "What?"
Voice 2: "Low-Fi."
Voice 1: "What are you talking about man? That's the greatest sound system ever!"
Voice 2: "That guy on violin doesn't know the piece by heart."
Voice 1: "Huh?"
Voice 2: "On my Pioneer stereo, you can hear him turning the pages! Low-Fi!"

Funny, but I rest my case...
