Man with passion for sound is on a quest to build the finest sound amplification system ever

When most of us listen to music these days, we hear MP3s. Introduced in 1993, they took off with Napster, and became ubiquitous. But Weiss said 95% of the sound is gone in MP3s.

"Can you imagine watching a television set where 95% of the pixels are dark? You wouldn't watch that at all. But your brain and your ears are so much more sophisticated with sound," he said.

Oh dear. I guess he doesn't know that video is typically compressed down to an average rate of 0.1 bits per pixel or less. In other words, 99.6% of the image is "gone" (assuming 24-bit original). Imagine watching that.

Hehe, you caught the logical fallacy. The guy is a pure idiot.

Hilarious that his idea of "working on" bringing great sound to more people is selling bookshelf speakers that cost nearly $10k (his Fleetwood series).

Does he play his music from a Mac?

Would that be bad?

Gotta wonder what all the engineers working for CBS think about this nonsense.

Vinyl, tubes, horns. Or shellac perhaps?

I don't want to know.

For sure, somehow I got the impression he is some kind of trust fund baby ( I might be wrong) and the financial implications of whatever he decides to play with don't matter at all.

The Mennonites running the 5 axis laser cutters is really off the wall.

Ha. I was just about to post the same thing. What a bonkers story.

"we don't like to talk about the price......"

I bet you don't, sunshine. I guess you'll sell me the lot for a bag of magic beans then?

His mp3s are like 64 kbps or something?
