The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?


.
My brother-in-law entered my home as jazz was playing on my system. After about three songs, the announcer came on and started to speak..and my brother-in-law looked at me with amazement.."that was the radio??!!

He could not believe he was listening to a radio station. It was my killer Sansui TU-X1 tuner doing its thing. Best compliment I could ever receive. My bro-in-law is not an audiophile.

Many years ago my sister commented on the improvement brought about by using Monster speaker cable. Decades later my wife shouted after hearing the price of my dream component. I now endeavor to bring gear in only when she is not home. Most if they notice at all have that crazed look on their face of you having a very large stereo system and have spend way too much money.

Audio like beauty is in the eye/ ear of the beholder.
Cs, Sinatra actually has nothing to do with my rig and neither Tony Bennet or Bary Manilow(burp).
Marakanetz, the first sentence was for you, the second for Rpeluso. Sorry for the confusion. However, I'm with you!
I find it absolutely amazing how indifferent most people are to a good setup
and quality sound. Women seem to be the most indifferent, which has always stunned me, my wife and mother excepted. I grew up in a household of musicians that included my parents and uncle and many of their friends. I was lucky, we always had great muical systems growing up, big Bozaks, KLH 9s, Marantz 8, 9, Fischer 500c and many more plus thousands of records to listen too in addition to the constant live practice in house.
