How can a bunch of people with such great taste in cars have such terrible taste in music?

So what goes with the lovely and very understated Kermit Green V12VS then?

I may have a very loud and lairy exterior but I assure you I only play cool tunes inside the car

Tom Jones - Green Green Grass etc or is it more Shakin' Stevens' - Green Door

I think you all just need to back away from the keyboard.

I don't have terrible taste Adam, I have broad taste. We saw Tom Jones two days before we saw ZZ Top but I blame my wife for that!

Very much - a lot of people seem to assume they can play poor quality input files (typically 128kps mp3 files via Bluetooth streaming) and expect a good system to compensate and a) produce a decent sound output, and b) to perform better than a lower quality system also playing the same poor quality input files. This accounts for a lot of the feedback where people say system X is cr@p, or system A sounds no better than system B.

Basic rule of thumb is that the sound output quality is going to be limited by the lowest quality item in the whole chain.

The other significant point is we all have different ears and different expectations of what sounds "good".

Yes , as I suspected .

It's the same with the Burmester systems fitted to the porsches . Barely any better , put high quality through it though and it sounds glorious

That's probably not a good idea right now as I'm trying desperately to retain my man-card so I'll take the 5th and tut quietly in the background.
