Has anyone had success converting friends?


As many times as I invite friends over to listen to my stereo and explain to them the virtues of a great system, none of them ever catch the bug. All of them are extremely passionate about music and are intrigued by my set-up, none of them ever go out and buy good stuff. This is frustrating. I see them spend money on a bunch of other things, but never good audio. I have been unsuccessful at converting one single person to the audiophile bug.

Nope. I have a friend who is a major musicophiliac. He listens to more music than I do, has close to 3000 CDs, hundreds of DVDs, gets all wet over high-def TV, and yet, he's perfectly satisfied with his satellites and "bass module" audio. Go figure! When I made an offer to him to come listen to my new system, he wasn't the least bit interested. To him, it's not about quality, or perhaps, he's not truly aware of what he's not hearing or how much he's missing when he listens to music. So what's the big deal? Some people wouldn't think of driving anything less than a high performance vehicle, others don't care if their car gives up when they put the pedal to the floor. Some people would rather put frozen 'pizza' in their bodies than a fresh home-grown tomato, basil, and mozzarella di buffala.

And I'm perfectly happy projecting SD on a white wall. Go figure!
