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?

Absolutely, but only when asked. I’m not even sure that some of my friends that ask truly believe me. The brands of equipment that many of us have, the average person has NEVER heard of in life. Who really knows, they may think names like Pass Labs, MIT, Esoteric, even Martin Logan are cheap knockoffs!  Lmao!

It would be pointless to tell a ‘civilian’ what I paid, they’d never understand and I wouldn’t want to explain it.

It is unnecessary to tell an audiophile because they already know, all of the information about your components is readily available online.
