Would you have known what the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of a typical CD is? The rest was pretty simple. And why take the test? Well, it opens up more Sonos forums.

Well, 18 here but that's only because I was distracted by a phone call while answering the last question ;)

That's a stupid marketing test, not anything of value.

a) I got 16 of 19 right the first time and I'm not an audiophile and have never seen a SONOS rig. I missed two audiophile questions -- about base response acronyms and the result of increased base on frequency range. Fair enough, I can't say I've ever even read an article on the subject. I also missed on on how the SONOS was assigned an address. I assumed it could also be given a static IP. Guess not. As I said, I've never seen one.

b) what would stop me from re-taking the "test" -- it showed me the right answers.

c) what would stop me looking up the answers? They're simple enough to find.

This would make me an expert? Hell no. It would, however, establish a reliationship between SONOS and myself for marketing purposes.

I think the test is designed to get you off the "did you plug it in" script with technical support. As such, it has value.

Ich hab die 19 auch direkt geschafft, und das, wo ich noch nichtmal nen Sonos habe. Bei der letzten Frage habe ich aber grob geraten, also eher Glück gehabt.

Ich stecke bei Frage 7: "What is the purpose of DRM?" Mir fehlt da die richtige Antwort-Option: "Hurt the customer"

Hm, jetzt hab' ich bei Frage 7 einfach die zweit-richtige (gibt's das Wort??? Macht das Sinn?) Antwort genommen und bin jetzt offizieller Sonos-Experte. Nun brauch' ich also nur noch eine Sonos-Anlage geschenkt zu bekommen, um dann auch eventuell den Fast-Track zum Second Level Support in Anspruch nehmen zu können. Oder hilft der mir auch, eine solche Anlage zu bekommen?

Ostern hast Du jetzt verpasst. Aber vielleicht wird es ja Weihnachten was. :-)

lol @ Ragnar

btw, I got 21...I got the bonus Spinal Tap question ;)
