My friends all like music, but none of them are into audio gear in even the slightest way. I try to convert them a little bit at a time, now and then, by drawing just a bit of attention now and then to the amazing SQ. When it's amazing, anyway. I make some slow headway, I like to think.
BUT... there are a few pieces, it turns out, they really like. Some of it's easy to predict, and some of it's not. I found out about the Jolida FX10 when I told a friend that one of my tube amps was out of service while I worked on it. A switch broke! He went into the living room and said, with relief, at least it's not that one--that's the one I like.
Is there some piece or other of your audio gear that you've found appeals to the non-gearheads among your friends and family? Another friend just fell in love with my McIntosh amp, which was very gratifying. I said, just wait until it gets dark in here: then it really comes alive.
I think the lights help. I can see 'lay people' falling for old-style receivers too. Anyone?
