I've had two pairs of Maggies over the years and have always enjoyed the room divider comments. (and the look on peoples faces when I explained that these were actually speakers. "Noooo,...really?!") I never went so far as the light show story, but I might if I ever have another pair. What the hell, a little chain pulling never hurt anyone! :~) It's especially funny to hear people say, "well,... tubes and LP's,... he's really into this whole vintage thing."!!!
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.
