You didn't mention his reaction to the music. Was he impressed by the music from your sophisticated system?
Good one Viridian.

I just wanted to play a record
A friend visited my home yesterday and asked to listen to one of my LP's. I powered up. He then said, "do you have to do all of that just to listen to a record?"
I normally don't even give it a thought as I go through my routine to power up....but this time, I realized that it is a far cry from what I had to do to listen to and LP with my first reciever.
Thirty three years ago a Sansui 771 Was my first reciever along with my Technics SL 1500 turntable. I pushed a button on the reciever and everything was on. Another switch for the turntable and I was in business. Yesterday, I realized that I had to turn on nine different components to play an LP. A preamp, four monoblocs, the turntable, the phono preamp, the servo control for my speakers and the record cleaning machine to clean the record.
He told me that I'm crazy.
He might be right.
