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.

Awe, come on Markanetz. I have no Sinatra. I truly don't think he's worthy. Way over blown. However my music is across the board. Last couple of times, it was Stevie Ray Von's Tin Pan Alley and Donovan's Mellow Yellow.

Another one would be "what are those glowing things on the floor";led to a nice conversation on tubes and what they can do to the sound of a system;this conversation had a few friends interested in tubes and one ended up buying a used mfa d75 here on audiogon about a year later.I think he eventually sold it and bought a berning zh-270.

Oh, so it is just a visual thing with you tube guys. I thought so.

Most people when they see my setup, say "I bet those speakers play really loud!" That what most people equate to a good music set up. They don't get that reproducing the sound of the actual instruments is my goal.

I do have one audio savvy friend who commented he had never heard music sound so clear.

Another person listening to my vinyl rig, said the music seemed to have liquid flow to it compared to CD.
