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!

Inna I am glad you have this hobby all figured out based on room size and common sense. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

My little son often get frustrated when the girl he likes would not follow him to his bunch of bionicles he built. Does this hobby create infantility?

Don't be disappointed, you're time and energy was invested for your pleasure. Serious music listeners would have recognized the difference in sound quality of your tube system. It's not your fault that these particular folks have a limited sense of discernment and probably do not do serious listening. You know the old saying, you can bring the horse to the water, but you can't make it drink.

Horses got big heads but not much for brains .I heard it several times and it has been documented , that horses when in panic,they run back in their burning stables to their death after they have been rescued from the fire .This phenomenon occurs mostly at night fires.
