New Audiophile?

I found a practically new Marantz receiver on craigslist for $20. Thinking it might be stolen, the fears were dropped when he showed up in a new Subaru and a Patagonia jacket. I gave it to my sister as a housewarming gift 🎁. if you look on my profile, you will see that she now has a pretty nice rocking system for a non-audiophile. As we all do, she enjoys the compliments she gets.

Great story, keep up the good work!  Two of my son’s friends used to come over to the house after school to listen.  They had full access to my system.  Both are Hart School of Music grads.  One is now a working musician in Nashville and the other owns a studio in Boston.  My son still is in close contact with these friends and has a nice system of his own.  15 years old is a good age to start.  All good stuff.

Baby steps, 

My 38 year old daughter and I recently bonded over Chris Isaak from around 30 years ago.

I spent a lot of time sound-shaming my kids any time I caught them listening to music on their iPhones. I gave them each a nice setup and ask them every week if they bought a new album, do they have any recommendations, anything worth strreaming?

They seem annoyed and amused with my obsession, but at the end I hope they enjoy it and forget the damn phone.
