Have you turned your loved ones into audiophiles

My 6 year old is too young, my wife could care less about anything "audiophile," but she stays out of my buying so that's great. My best friend who is like a brother just says "what'd you buy now?" He thinks I keep buying because I'll never be satisfied and sort of thinks I have a problem. A few people in my family other than my parents have heard previous systems I had, but even I was impressed with those setups. I have one associate who has always been a stereo nut, but his thing has always been midfi. But he has always managed to have nice sounding systems unlike yours truly. No new audiophiles here.

Interested responses. So it seems for most, it is not possible to turn the loved ones into audiophiles. But do you most of you have spouses and all that at least accept your hobby? I know it is much more than a hobby.

My wife is accepting of the obsession. You'd have to ask her if she considers it a hobby. I don't. Back in the day of DIY, build your own electronics and speakers, it was a hobby; The guys who are still doing that are hobbyists. The rest of us are consumers.

IMO.

I believe everyone thinks I'm touched for spending what I have on the system. Why spend all of that money on a Porsche when you can drive a Fiat 500, right?

I love those women at the audio shows. You know the ones. They sit there next to their man all Stepford like, pretending to be interested.
...Because its important to spend time together, and he's damn sure not going to join her for a pilates class.
No thank you. I'll take my strong, self-opinionated wife over some emotional leach ANY day! I have to fight her for every exorbitantly priced cable in my system; but SHE'S REAL!
Its that whole predisposition thing. I thought we (my audio cohort and I) had a "fish" recently; but as our cigars were getting short out on the back patio (OK, here I could use a Stepford wife. It would be nice to smoke and listen), and I suggested we go back inside for a spinning of Neil Young, our friend looked at his watch. I knew right then he was a lost cause.
Right from the start you had to drag me away from your system! I got turned by my neighbor when I was in high school. Some kids liked to stop at car dealerships on their way home, or the Harley dealer. I drooled on audio equipment I couldn't afford.
And, like most of you, I did it alone.
