Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?


Has anyone, either a dealer or an experienced friend come over to your place and provide some constructive(or negative) critism to the choice of cables in your system? If yes, how would you deal with it? Recently I have a guy who came over and he was pretty vocal on the cables in my system. Although the choice of words were quite unpleasant, I just brushed him off in a friendly manner since I am an open-minded person. I was just wondering how one would react in these kind of situations.

Our systems are our personal creation in a way few other things are and we , as they say in psychology, are "ego involved" with them. That said, it takes a real jerk to tell you that you have the wrong cables. Of course, it happens all the time on Audiogon. Audio is just another religion where many are not happy quietly worshiping in their own church but take it upon themselves to go out and convert the heathen to the true path. That being , of course, whatever they are using themselves at the time.
