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.

Esmerelda - as creeper mentioned, the 12's are built like tanks and the needle gets most of the abuse (but dj needles are pretty durable, too). I have a friend who's still spinning with the pair of 12's that he bought in 1989. (of course he treats them infants)

My roomate gets mad at me when I tell people that the tubes on my amp are a light display that can be set to blink on and off to the beat if I change a few settings.
