I'm really quite a tolerant and non-judgemental sort of person, or try to be. But at times, even I find myself saying: "You're talking shite, mate. Utter shite."
One such instance was last year when I was searching Beatles threads and came to one individual who was convinced John Lennon didn't play the harmonica on the Please Please Me album. I can only presume he hadn't heard any of the out-takes from the sessions.
Another from the weekend was regarding Pioneer's 505 2 headphones from the '70s with the owner giving a description and another who "seriously questioned" it using leather in it's construction. Hell, just about every set of headphones from this period used a leather headband. But this one wouldn't have it. In his opinion it was vinyl wrap. Smell apart, the difference between the two would be pretty obvious. I have a pair of 305s and they're awash with leather. Wouldn't be surprised if a small raccoon hadn't gone into their construction.
