   An ex-BBC sound man who made a fortune by turning his hobby, underwater
filming, into a profession sold his old hi-fi system to another friend, an
OB sound supervisor. The old gear (almost new) changed hands at 5,000 UKP
because it had just been replaced by a new system costing 50,000 UKP.
Various cables were swapped around during a demonstration of the new kit,
and I am told that it really did make a difference with kit of that quality,
but probably would not be noticed with cheaper kit.
   Many people would think that the sound from their TV speaker is good
until they are able to switch between that and their hi-fi system.
