sound at the record store

Went into a record store today to look around. Now I guess I AM A SOUND SNOB OR SOMETHING BUT CHECK THIS OUT....THE OWNER OF THE SHOP WHOM I KNOW PRETTY WELL JUST GOT IN A DEEP GROOVE BLUE NOTE JACKIE MCLEAN ALBUM JACKIES BAG. VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND INDEED. HE SAYS CHECK IT OUT I CAN SELL IT TO YOU FOR $300,IT IS WORTH $800 HE SAYS.I SAY PUT IT ON AND LET ME LISTEN. HE PUTS IT ON AND HIS SYSTEM SOUNDS LIKE SHIT...I MEAN TOTAL MUDDLED CRAP AND HE SAYS SOUNDS GREAT HUH?

I JUST CANT BELIEVE THAT OWNERS OF RECORD STORES WHO ARE AROUND MUSIC AND RECORDS ALL DAY WILL PUT UP WITH THAT SOUND.IS IT ME?

I do not buy things from people who tell me I "can buy something for $300 but it is worth $800." I tell them no thank you.

Goofyfoot, that sounds very cool. But what else is there to do in Iceland but hang out in a record store?

Hi Lowrider,
I'm not sure what folks do in Iceland since I've never been there but there's no American football so that's very appealing in and of itself.
I would guess that fish is in abundance. That's it, some freshly caught fish while sampling the latest classical releases.
Can I get fries with that?

As I recall, the sound at record stores has never been good.

I agree with Stevecham. I would question the deal. Why would the store offer you an $800 record for $300?
