Four times a day, when the wind is right, I can hear the Sugar Cane Train pass by on its way to or from Lahaina, Maui. It goes like this: "CHOO, CHOO, CHOO, choo, CHOO, CHOO, CHOO, choo." Notice the stongest empahsis is on the first three beats. Now if you go to the Phoenix Sound wensite and listen to their sound samples, every one of their steam locos, despite their different whistles, sound the same. Namely: "CHOO, CHOO, CHOO, CHOO" etc. It's kind of redundant and sounds like they just looped the same sound, which could very well be electronically generated, and thus, not authentic.
So what's the deal? And why don't they (as that comedian on Saturday Night Life says) "FIX IT!" ?? I have two older model Phoenix sound systems and while I like them, I would think that in this day and age we could get a sound system that really replicates the real thing.
TOC, knowing how much you love sound systems, ignore this post and go work on you Jag-u-was.
