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.

Nothing for my “rig” in particular, but Apogee speakers, in general, have a tendency to solicit compliments for design aesthetics (though understandably not everybody's cup of tea). Pass amps, too, both early Aleph and later machined/brushed aluminum facias, get commented on regularly - all generally from men though.
None come to mind. I know they all must think I'm touched for spending that much time and money on it.
Csontos- Maybe he's an acquired taste, when I was young and foolish I too didn't appreciate the talent.
btw, i think donovan is under-appreciated. do you like his Sutras recording?
"That's some good sounds" from a non-phile (I don't know any philes) and all the while I was thinking how subpar the system sounds for a mid fi system, especially for the money invested.
