Disappointing Evening


I had some dinner guest's over last evening. I had my main system warming up just in case there was some interest from them in audio. I have a second system that was playing when they arrived. It's a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 9000 that my inlaws gave me a few years back. Well soon enough a couple of them were commenting about the good music, so I asked if they would like to hear my pride and joy system, mostly all tube gear that (IMO) looks pretty cool with all the tubes lit up and sounds way better than the B&O stuff. No interest at all in the tube system and they hovered around the B&O loving the way the glass door opened and the arm moved to each CD. Boy was I insulted, all the time, money and energy I have in my tube system!

i say don't worry about it.

there is a good chance one of your guests last night spent $500 on the shoes they were wearing----no one noticed either I bet.
Some people just don't see things the same way.

Any of you remember Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin) in "The Jerk" sharing dinner with Bernadette Peters.

people come to my place and ask why don,t i hide all the wires and cables and how many cd's do you need and don,t i know that clutter is stressful etc. you got off easy. ha
