Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
Context is important.  The OP stated that the owner was giving him a tour of their house which implies that this is either a new or casual friend.  He didn’t invite them over for a “listening session” of a shared hobby.    
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
I work out every day and eat really healthy and for some reason when I tell my friends that they look fat, ugly and out of shape….and that I can help them, it’s not taken well.  What’s wrong with them?

Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
@thegoldengoose you wrote in 2018 My experience with Cary’s service was so bad I never unboxed my unit. I could never recommend this brand. Did you have trouble opening the box???  Your comment does not make sense.
