Have you turned your loved ones into audiophiles

My 20 year old Son has started to show a little interest in vinyl. Not to long ago he asked me to set up one of my tt's for him. So I let him have my Technics SL-10 with a Bellari VP130 phono preamp. It's connected to his Yamaha packaged Receiver/CD player table top unit. He can use any of my LP's or CD's because he treats them with respect.

My wife is another story. All she ever says is "That's nice dear" or the ever popular "How much this time"

Good Luck

My wife will turn on the tube preamp to listen to the AppleTV because just going through the reciever sounds "tin-ny" compared to the tube preamp.

She will actually toss on vinyl for certain music she likes.

No, but my loved ones believe that they are audiophiles and that I could become one by purchasing an IPOD.

My seven year old absolutely loves listening to my system with me. When she sees me head up the stairs to listen, she frantically races past me to be the first one in the listening room.

Normally, she sits on my lap while I listen and will give me signals when she disapproves of the sound - too loud, too digital, etc. She is very calm when I play vinyl (testament to its superiority?)

Last week, a buddy of mine burned me a copy of Ozric Tentacles and we played it together; but she did NOT approve! She folded back her ears, puffed up her tail, then ran off screeching.

Oh well, can't please them all the time. A budding audiophile, nonetheless.

Cyclonicman: Nice!
