What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more

Never critique another man’s rutabaga unless he asks you. - Old audiophile axiom

Some words and phrases you might consider using if you’re not sure what to say are, Wow!, holy crap!, nice! What did you do to your system?, nice soundstage, Smooth!, Transparent! and Can I look at the CD?

You know what’s even worse, is when your friends say you only listen to tweaks. That’s precisely why I had to take the relatively drastic step of blindfolding visitors and friends before entering. Loose lips 👄 sink ships. 🚢
