Non Audiophiles are funny people

ive had several non audiophile types in my home in the past year (painter,plumber,postal person, UPS,Fedex driver, neighbors) for some reason or another. I have 3 turntables
1. Michell GyroDec Linn AKito/Lyra Clavis
2. Sota Star SME 5/Cardas Heart
3. Well tempered Classic / Sumiko SHO

each one of these people ask or say "you must be a DJ" or "are you a DJ?". Imagine scrathing and backspinning on the wheels of steel, a belt driven loaded way down at 1.8 grams complete with vaccum hold down! Dont forget that record clamp! I can only imagine what that UPS driver would do if he was here alone with some Run DMC wax.

I have a flexy that holds about half my equipment. The bug man was impressed and felt that I should earn some money making them. The funny thing was my nerdy stammering while I tried to compile a simple explanation about why I couldn't.

Then there's the whole "what's that?" game.

And then there was that time when a fed ex guy or someone lopped his ledger on top of one of my speakers like it was a countertop. I had to put the hurt on him. My speakers in particular to do take kind to that sort of thing.
