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?

I only tell the people that have enough money themselves to not think I'm crazy.  Or don't tell the ones that may think I may think I am better than them because I can spend that on a stereo.  Most often I just say, more than the cars I could afford in my younger days.  

I own Coda, Legacy, Marantz, Anthem, Furman, Teac.  Radio Shack 12 Ga. speaker wire. 

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's a case by case situation based on the vibe I'm getting from them at the time.

I'll share prices with visitors. Then I say 'how much is a fishing boat? nice set of golf clubs? snowmobile? rolex? do they get asked prices? moreover: fishing? golf? yuk.' 

All part of my charm offensive.
