How to prevent visitors from touching your system

Smear your gear with a greasy, foul smelling substance.

Buy yourself some Covers.  Not affiliated, just a satisfied customer, Digital Deck Covers will make you anything you want.  Wouldn't surprise me, that they'd make you some custom fit covers for a pair of JBL 4350's.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Why i it a big deal. Music is to be enjoyed and shared…and everything can be repaired. Friendships and relationships trump stuff. Besides, I would rather them touch a vacuum tube and learn they can get pretty hot…and I would rather them touch an amplifier than an 80 year old painting…but again, its jsut stuff.

I stream most of my music and teach friends how to run the apps. They control the systems and have no reason to touch anything.  The housekeeper is an entirely different problem.  Ripped the stylus off of the phono cartridge with a cloth. 

1)Don't you have a dedicated room?

2)Don't invite anyone over!

3)Display a sign that reflects your thoughts on touching your system! 

Simple people in my circle know not to touch my motorcycle , stereo and nbq grill.

“I stream most of my music and teach friends how to run the apps.”

Perfect!! And guests in each room can play their own favorite music. We have six different Bluesound Nodes so we can keep them all separate or link as many as we want.

Place axe next to stereo system with sign, "Hands Off Audio System".

It’s been six weeks since my 17yo started to take her friends into my listening space and so far nobody has touched anything other than the power button on my integrated.  My KPop daughter, without my influence, has started to listen to jazz and rock from late 50s onward.  Having her touch my system has yielded results that I never expected.  I believe that there really isn’t an issue as long as they stay with streaming and don’t play around with the turntable.

Proper signage is always important...
