Hi end audio who cares

To these people I draw an analogy between our "hobby" and wine...while I can appreciate in a limited way the difference between a modest table wine and something better, I would never spend over $30 on a bottle of wine. But show me some shiny tungsten-carbide ball bearings...well, the checkbook comes out!

It's a mix . . . . my dad heard my system, and went home and dug out all his old records and his old Panasonic system and started hooking everything up. I bought him a new Rotel TT for Christmas and gave him a Denon DD/DTS receiver that I had in the bedroom . . . . now he's thinking (with some SMALL nudging from me) that maybe he could do better than those giant cardboard Panny speakers . . . .

On the other hand, some of my uncles heard the system (in HT mode) on Christmas Eve . . . . one started joking about the size of my "woopers" and the other noted that the balrog made the water in the toilet bowl ripple . . . .

Don't give up -- SOME people will get it if you give them a chance . . . .

Just tell 'em it's a Bose with a "Hemi" in it. They'll think you're cool...

Have a great New Year!!!

Whats a hemi!

I find it comically sad that a person would feel superior to the "masses" because he/she is in to hi-fi. Try to get a little perspective.
