Have you turned your loved ones into audiophiles

yeah right. there is no 'friends and family plan' for audio. a hobby shared with a spouse is no hobby.

This is a "nature" or "nurture" issue. If someone does not have the defective gene they will never become an audiophile.

Elizabeth--good one :)

Good comments, love what Jaybo said.

My family loves music, not important what they listen to it with though. Having said that, my son does have a Parasound Zamp from his computer into a pair of Epos Els3 and Tara Labs cables. He enjoys this combo very much.

+1 on what jaybo said.......

My 6 year old is too young, my wife could care less about anything "audiophile," but she stays out of my buying so that's great. My best friend who is like a brother just says "what'd you buy now?" He thinks I keep buying because I'll never be satisfied and sort of thinks I have a problem. A few people in my family other than my parents have heard previous systems I had, but even I was impressed with those setups. I have one associate who has always been a stereo nut, but his thing has always been midfi. But he has always managed to have nice sounding systems unlike yours truly. No new audiophiles here.
