4D - The Audio Engineer's Experience!

I'd dropped my mates a copy of my maps a while back, one evening not to long ago it was suggested that we check out 4D as the group hadn't been there. I'd been there previously myself and found it only moderately interesting. Not being one to say no to exploring though I agreed and we were on our way! 

Well... It turned out to be quite the experience in the end. Two of the people that came along are, for lack of a better term, audiophiles. One is studying to become an audio engineer, while the other practices singing in his spare time. 
What I had failed to give much notice to last time, was the extreme echo generated by this space. Any sounds made would echo for up-to 10 seconds!!! Incredible.

The singer of the group (lets call him J) started singing deep low notes... And wow! The echoes were intense. It sounded like church music almost! 

We didn't have much time though as this was the last place we were checking out for that night and needed to get home. But we vowed we would return... With a vengeance!

The Kind Doctor.
Doctor Steel.

I happened upon him, as so many people did, because of 'Lulz Sec' linking to him. And what a great thing that turned out to be!

Audiophiles.

I am not an audiophile.

Audiophiles love audio and equipment, but rarely the music itself.

An audiophile is someone who can't listen for more than a few minutes before stopping to modify the setup, to swap cables or adjust amplifiers.
An Audiophile will spend more money gear than they'd spend on actual music and concerts.
An Audiophile will own stacks of different components, speakers, headphones and amplifiers and will receive their pleasure from fiddling with all this gear.
Audiophiles listen to their harware, instead of listening to what matters, the music.
Audiophiles just as often are listening to sample recordings to test the theoretical responsiveness of their setups.
