I also gained a treasure trove of knowledge from techs and reps.  Especially reps who were at it for a long time and remember the earlier years of the golden age of tubes. We were taught how to see trough marketing ploys of manufacturers!

ROTFL!

We also got to hear Luxman and Bang and Olufsen.

B&O stuff generally has a very sleek exterior. The interior is another story. Among the messiest I've seen. Like who the hell places the mains transformer on the opposite side from the power lead entry point? And then runs the AC wires not in a straight line, but all the way around the main circuit boards, right past the most sensitive parts.

Hey, doesn't that result in a better rendition of concert hall sound?

I suppose it's a bit like one of the venues here in town, Southampton Guildhall. Nice building, terrible acoustics. The interior is more or less a cube. Use your imagination.

When someone refuses to try something, and tells you its useless?

Like flapping one's arms in order to fly?

OK, give us an example of a particularly disappointing bad recording, and what about it made it so disappointing.
