My greatest feeling was the day my most vocal opponent ,of my HIFI love, called her dad to ask if I had an extra stereo she could borrow.
Of course I told her NO, I have one I will give you, she's 35 years old.
She had to admit , every time she went to the back of the house and heard my grandsons pioneer system I gave to him , she just had to stand there and listen to how good it sounded.
All my grown kids don't get it, I was not collecting when they were young and my wife was alive, Now I am raising two grand kids 14 and 15 since birth, they get it !
My house is wall to wall gear of one type "Vintage", Altec , JBL, Klipsch, Mcintosh, Kenwood, and lot's more, so we have great gear to reproduce great music in our house.
So I guess for us it great stereo's for us and we don't worry about what others are missing out on.
