"My Dad has a system like that", she said....

Happily married with three grandsons which means there's no need to impress the ladies.
What makes me rethink this hobby though, and it happens quite frequently, is questions such as "which $1K power cable for my preamp will increase soundstage depth?" Or, "I installed $50 fuses in my cdp and the difference is amazing."
Drive me absolutely nuts. WTF are you doing listening to a pc/fuse? Listen to the freakin music.
OK, I feel better now. :)

I bought my oldest grandson an old Harman Kardon receiver and a set of speakers to keep the dream alive. Source is an ipod through the aux input.
His mom yells at him to turn it down on occasion. Payback.
