I sold my Rega Jura IIs yesterday to a very nice chap called Will.
We spent nearly two hours listening to and discussing music and I'm happy I got a good price (£130) and they're going to a good home where they'll be appreciated.

Weird thing was, he pronounced Rega "Ray-gah" while I've always said/thought "Ree-gah".
Then on his way out he saw my Grado headphones and said "Oh, nice pair of Gray-dohs" and that bugged me because I'd always thought it was "Grah-doh".

I know it's tempting to just write "Toe-may-toe" "Asparagus" at this point but which is it for those two ? Am I right or is he ?
And are there any other weird ones you've never been sure about ??

Sennheiser = Sen-high-zer is how it should be pronounced if it's Germanic in origin because you say the second of the "i" and the "e" depending on the order (either "ie" or "ei")
NAD = as in gonad, not N.A.D., right ?
KEF = K.E.F. not "Keff", right ?
Aiwa = Aye-wah, right ?
Thorens = Torrenz (like torrent), right ?

Anymore for anymore ??
