WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?

" I am a totally humble soul, even though I know I AM better than all of you. And I offer my genius for you to marvel at. NO need to offer gifts. My brilliance is gift enough. Yes my system is the work of Genius. Please do not try to copy it. That would only make you smaller than you already are now. When I comment on your system, consider them the comments an adult makes about the playthings of a toddler"
LOL literally LOL / Well done Elizabeth

Honestly, I wasn't bragging when I was trying to explain how amazing my Conrad Johnson is to my late might visitor :)

".....who finally agreed that CJs’ equipment is ’a Gift from the Gods’. I turned off the leads to the ’trodes applied to ’nether regions down from 30KVDC on the neon transformer, but left the restraints in place...."

Everything Is Awesome!!! Especially Yours! WhatEVER it is....

....can we go home now? *hopeful S*

Yeah hopeful so and stay there and off the thread hopefully so

@calvinj : just give it a rest for a decade or so, and your worries shall fade away... I used to mention/brag about my top-of-the-line Naim Audio "olive series" kit 10+ years ago, nowadays I just do not care if anyone else wants to comment: this is my "final destination"... until I head for retirement home and shall downgrade onto Pono player...
I suggest re-reading Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy: its subtitle "do not worry" is priceless!!!
As I've already mentioned elsewhere, me attending LA Opera sometimes is a bummer when their A/C is malfunctioning of if I cheaped-out on the seating. But LP12 into Naim amplification and SBLs (as in my profile): they never let me down :-)
