What if the tables were turned and you were invited for dinner? Would you be genuinely interested if the hosts hobbies were coin collecting, ceremonial masks, or rocks?
How long could you sit through a discussion about igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks? Once your patience was exhausted from this conversation the host then leads you to a secret room behind the bookcase to show you his rock collection.
Is your goal to enjoy the music with your guests or to have them be interested in the medium you play the music?
For myself, I never discuss audio, besides those with like interest, or other hobbies I have with others. If I am asked about it I may choose to comment. I am not saying everyone should adapt my approach but I do not expect others to show an interest in what I am passionate about.
There is a great line from the movie Entrapment. When Sean Connery brought Catherine Zeta Jones to his Scottish castle she commented what a waste to have such an extraordinary art collection for no one else to see. Connerys reply was I collect art for me to enjoy.
Something to think about.
