德國明鏡週刊的社會議題中有一個固定的專欄，「以前什麼都比較差」「FRÜHER WAR ALLES SCHLECHTER」，這個專欄的文章全部都在說現在比以前好的事情，這個專欄如果搬到台灣，一定完全相反，會變成「以前什麼都比較好」，以前的台灣人比較刻苦耐勞，比較會想，比較聰明，比較節儉，比較會為未來打算，以前的學生比較用功讀書，以前的社會比較一團和氣，以前的什麼東西，通通都比現在好。套在台灣的音響迷就是數十年來音響都沒進步？
The chamber sits at the heart of six concrete onion layers that help to block out sounds from the outside world. This nest of rooms within rooms – each with walls up to 12 inches thick – helps to cut the noise reaching the chamber by around 110 decibels.

The anechoic chamber is a cube measuring 21ft (6.36m) in each direction. Each of its six surfaces is lined with clusters of 4ft-long (1.2m) wedges of sound absorbing foam, helping to prevent any echoes bouncing off the walls from any sound produced inside. A floor made from steel cables – the same kind used to stop fighter jets as they land on aircraft carriers – are knitted together like a trampoline net above the foam wedges on the bottom of the chamber.
