Disappointing Evening


I had some dinner guest's over last evening. I had my main system warming up just in case there was some interest from them in audio. I have a second system that was playing when they arrived. It's a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 9000 that my inlaws gave me a few years back. Well soon enough a couple of them were commenting about the good music, so I asked if they would like to hear my pride and joy system, mostly all tube gear that (IMO) looks pretty cool with all the tubes lit up and sounds way better than the B&O stuff. No interest at all in the tube system and they hovered around the B&O loving the way the glass door opened and the arm moved to each CD. Boy was I insulted, all the time, money and energy I have in my tube system!

Instead of expecting my guests to be impressed, I make the whole thing off limits.

I switch everything off and turn the speakers to the wall.

I don't mention it and change the subject if they bring it up.

That doesn't work either.
Markpao, why don't you post your systems ?

I am sure you would have a better chance of getting a positive response here, among fellow enthusiasts.
