Post Subject: Heavy metal- AN systemPosted by wjam on: 1/31/2011

Many years ago at a hi-fi show I arrived in the Audio Note room with it's 100k system (Gakuon power amps if memory serves right).. Fresh off my motorbike resplendent in leathers, Dead Can Dance LP under my arm.

I asked if they could play track 1 side 1.. Mr Qvortrop looked at me (up and down slowly) looked at the name of the LP and responded with "It's not heavy metal is it?" I said it definitely was not heavy metal... so he played it... his jaw flapped a little, he demanded where I found this, and promptly bought a copy, same night, in the local record store.

He was so surprised at my muscial choice. I KNEW not to bring Motorhead :-)
