"I thought records were supposed to suck?" or "Where is the record noise?" (it was a dead quiet LP) The first comment was my favorite. (Again, like dirty, my friends are of the current mp3 generation andhave never heard decent vinyl playback) I also get a lot of the obligatory "it sounds like musicians are in the room" comments. I love those too.
Tell us compliments received on your system...
So, it is common for a non-audiophile to doubt the need for high-end gear. Describe a compliment you remember from one of these folks when they hear your set-up.
I had one a while back that was kinda fun. Fellow saw my Dyn monitors and severely doubted they produced the bass that he was hearing. I told him there was no sub on- he looked all over until he found my sub in the corner. "What's this then?" he asked. "It's not on" I said, then I went over and turned it on. The sub is real clean- now he complained it wasn't boomy enough. I thought that was quite a compliment-even tho he didn't know it. Heheh ;-)
