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'm not sure if I ever converted a non-believer into the fold but I have sent a few home with an irresistible need to upgrade.

....I’m offended by people being offended by whatever they feel they ought to be offended by for no discernable offense....*shrug*....

Comfortably Numb, thank you virtually...;)

’Audioconversion’ happens rarely, and only to those open to the experience....imho...and generally will ’take off’ potentially into a realm not forseen by the ’converting conductor’. One could relate the activity to electroshock therapy of a milder version....something that also tended to have ’variable results'....

"...Portuguese safflower oil on your cables...."

Icky....collects dust bunnies... I’d rather spray LPs’ with silicone for that ’liquid sound’...(No, Not from the spray bomb....a perfume atomizer. One needs to show restraint Sometimes....)

...watching my speeling....just 'cuz.....
High end high cost thin underwhelmingly musical systems that suck emotion out of music is a scandulous business.
After reading all of this feedback I've come to the following, scientifically sound and immutable results, and, by inference, a conclusion:

Audiophilia conversion isn't real.  You either have it or you don't.  Therefore it is not environmental, therefore, it is genetic, and if you all don't want audiophiles to die out you need to make more babies.
