What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully?


We all have certain audio proclivities, some we expose to the world, some we hide even from our priests and psychotherapists.  We believe, strongly, there's a certain way to achieve magic.  A state of enlightenment which raises our awareness almost instantly to resonate with the sacred muses, and may actually transcend music and audio to reach the divine (as opposed to Divine).

In most cases, we share something with a loved one and they're like "um, ok, are still on for fishing this weekend?" but rarely, ever so rarely, the go home, they don't talk to their spouses, their children think there is something wrong, and they call you late at night. "You know that thing you did, with the cables and the vinyl and stuff?  How can I do that too?  Does my spouse need to know? Can I keep things at your place?"

So, my fellow audiophiles, what proclivities do you find yourself championing, and what do you think is an easy vs. a hard sell? Vinyl?  Room acoustics?  Rubbing Portuguese safflower oil on your cables before listening?

I have heard the best speakers on the planet that the finest speaker engineers can create. These werent good enough. Some were even horrible. The bottom line is that I am the greatest audiophile in the audiophile community. You will never find a more fussy audiophile than me. Just remember that Mr Erik Tufnel!! 

Now by Monday morning I expect an essay from you Squires. The essay will explain why the SNR1 are not the best in the world. What has gone wrong? Is it the wood? Is it the crossover? Is it a mystery? I order you to provide an explanation Nigel.
We have had miller, ebm and kenjit visit without a bit of constructive commentary.

Is this what it feels like when, on holiday, all your relatives who weren’t invited to come anyway and eat all the pie?
