Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?

Putting security and personal safety issues aside, do you share with others how much you have invested in your system?

I can see cases when we share with those who are generally interested what the "tariff" is for superb audio reproduction. Or, those who are already know how tall you have to be to ride the ride.

Can you think of any other reasons (accountants, lawyers, insurance, etc)? Afterall, when your spouses second cousin pulls in the driveway in their Minivan, bragging about fact that you have $10k invested in cables may not be the best way show common interests?

What say you?

Only if they ask...

and as far as my pride goes, I'm most proud of how LITTLE I have spent on my modest secondary system, and it's what I use to "showcase" to anybody interested how great of sound they can get for not much money.  

as for my "higher end" system, I still pride myself on how great it sounds for the relatively small amount of money I spent on it to get the awesome level of performance it delivers... but I don't share the cost unless somebody asks and really seems interested in "going there."  

Most people would be MORE THAN happy with my modest secondary system; it sounds far better than anything they've ever had in their homes, most likely, if they don't already have a good system of their own, so occasionally I use it as a mentoring start point for those who express interest.
