I just came across this:

http://cgi.stereophile.com/cgi-bin/displayvote.cgi

 

There is some pretty funny stuff there under: "What is the scariest audio thing that's ever happened to you?"

 

For example:

 

"It is scary, "horrifying" really, just to think about it; but it happened. This might be the ultimate in WAF horrors. After being thrown out of my house during an ugly divorce, I returned later to retrieve some of my stuff. Long ago, when young and fearless, I had built a 450lb, fridge-sized, folded corner-horn bass; think Klipschorn on steroids. The beast had two 15" field-coil activated drivers, cross-fired into a 16Hz-cutoff exponential labyrinth. It could blow out candles from across the room with just a few watts input. You wonder if this thing was actually musical? Oh my!! I humbly claim that I have never heard such clean, timbrel, and dynamic bass anywhere ever, period. My friends (and distant neighbors) confirmed this; many times. So OK, I returned with a truck and rigger gear to get it along with the rest of my system, all customized horns. Well, the big bulky bass was chunked into T-Rex bites. I can't imagine how she did it; it could have survived a skydiving attempt with a 2' 'chute, being 2.5"-thick lamination and braced with 2" angle iron. But there’s no higher motivation than a scorned woman. Maybe she thought I hid the stash in the compression chambers? My heart (and legs and gut and. . .) would throb no more.

I made the mistake of going full screen!

 

Better than going full retard, which is what Aaron must've been to search for that diabolically insidious piece of audio video crapulation.

I'm so glad I don't have any audio on my work PC!

The visual images will be hard enough to erase from my mind but if I'd had the audio too....

It's just wrong on so many levels.

I can just hear my 84yr old mother-in-law talking about this in positive terms.

Nah, even she would know this is just wrong.

 

Now, where's a bucket - I need to vomit.

It's Criminal. Aaron has a lot to answer for!

 

I showed a couple of other guys here at work (incl. a non-audiophile but huge music fan) and he walked out of the room halfway through!!!

 

I think the Angus Young impersonation alone (and I use the word 'impersonation' very very extremely liberally) was too much for him to start with before the, err, singing even started!

That was terrifying. Aaron, you're a sick, sick man.

Squid, what did we ever do to you? We didnt deserve that!:(

Someone should have given her a push while the opportunity was there!:)
