The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?


.
My brother-in-law entered my home as jazz was playing on my system. After about three songs, the announcer came on and started to speak..and my brother-in-law looked at me with amazement.."that was the radio??!!

He could not believe he was listening to a radio station. It was my killer Sansui TU-X1 tuner doing its thing. Best compliment I could ever receive. My bro-in-law is not an audiophile.

In his younger days my dog listened intently with me. Head up, ears twitching on queue, very content and relaxed. 🐕
A long time friend who is a musician and avid music lover but has no special focus on sound quality that I have ever detected was over listening with me the other day and commented how lifelike things sounded and correctly recognized the type and size of the venue where the live recording I was playing was recorded. I was shocked he even gave that a thought! The recording was the live classic rock tracks on "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater.
"That sounds really good".

Truthfully most people could care less how it sounds. They think my wireless controlled music server and Squeezebox devices are pretty cool though when I use that to get the music playing. And they are also sometimes really impressed more by the physical presence of my really big OHM F5 speakers. Size matters it seems when trying to impress people.

Atmasphere, I heard your amps in the Classic Audio Room at Capital Audifest and will now try to do you one better:

It was very lifelike and just about as good as it gets!
