I used to get very excited about sharing my system with friends. I’d be on an audio high and want to share the sound of a new amp, new speakers, amazing sound stage, or a new DAC. For all but one person, the response was always, “I don’t hear the difference.” Or, “it did not cost that much.” Or, “Yeah, nice. And where’s the beer?” And so I’ve stopped getting excited about sharing my system because either I can hear things my friends literally can’t, or I’m batsh*t crazy and hearing things that aren’t there.
