How to prevent visitors from touching your system


It’s amazing, no matter if it’s your friends or just anyone else walking into your listing room, what is the first thing that happens? They have to reach out and touch something. Like this is the first piece of real equipment they have ever seen. Has anyone else had this experience? What can be done to prevent this except posting signs or telling people every single time? Gets kinda frustrating.

I used to keep a couple of charged condensers sitting on my tool cart for those people who just had to touch other peoples stuff. Typically it took just one time. 

Gosh they might actually become interested in hi-end audio!  And we wouldn't want that, would we?

None of my friends have ever reached out and touched my equipment even my 17 year old grandson who has had to touch everything else in my house. He has asked me about it though..... 

@dabel You jogged my memory. My wife once had a playgroup daily in our basement. My rig for both HT and 2 channel audio we in one corner of the basement. I installed a Roman shade to block off all the gear. The only thing I had to move was the seating. When I got home at night, just raise the shade and push the seat back. Worked pretty well, actually. Now, with my Man Cave, guests rarely venture anywhere near the gear.
