Do you have a spare needle for when that one wears out?

No, this thread’s about things normal people might say to an audiophile. That’s something smug audiophiles say to other audiophiles on forums to try to dismiss a question.

Oh man, you should try this same album on my setup; it has Atmos surround with speakers in the roof… ‘sounds come from everywhere’!
edit: that is a composite of modern and old- mostly back in the nineties to early 2000s as people upgraded to surround sound- they thought that ‘two channel’ was less… Now Atmos is the modern equivalent of ‘why would you limit yourself’.

Many years ago, in Bristol, I was in a Tandy shop (don’t worry, soon learned that it wasn’t worth going in there) and they were playing some sort of music system. It sounded awful. Went to see what it was (I can’t remember what it was) and noticed that the treble was all the way down, and the bass all the way up. Put them both in their central positions, and it sounded way better (of course). Not great, but OK. The customer service guy (salesman) came up immediately and returned them to their previous position - he obviously thought that sounded better. Ah well.

I asked a mate who was always buying CDs like they were going out of fashion back in the day, if he wanted to try out some old Audioquest speaker cable in his Hi Fi.
My question was are your terminals Banana plugs or spades.
He came into work the next day and said the speaker wires just disappear through a hole into the speakers.
