Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?

Putting security and personal safety issues aside, do you share with others how much you have invested in your system?

I can see cases when we share with those who are generally interested what the "tariff" is for superb audio reproduction. Or, those who are already know how tall you have to be to ride the ride.

Can you think of any other reasons (accountants, lawyers, insurance, etc)? Afterall, when your spouses second cousin pulls in the driveway in their Minivan, bragging about fact that you have $10k invested in cables may not be the best way show common interests?

What say you?

For audiophiles who have the same hobby, I'll tell them what it costs as they may be interested in buying that item for their system.  For others, I'll tell them to google it, don't want to shock them.....

Look at what thousands of more people are buying, hi end watches. They spend multiple thousands on these watches and I’m not talking Omega where even they can cost 10-30k. Does the average Joe know when they see one of these watches the price or would they say "how much did you pay for that watch"? I think not. Most people just don't care.

Almost never.

Have a friend who’s home was broken into shortly after he had some work done. The hit his only bathroom, certain drawers in their bedroom and his entire rig!  What really sucked is that they couldn’t prove who dun it.
