High End Validation

I know what you mean Grant. I try not to talk about my system either. Once in a blue moon (decade or so) someone will say something nice like that about my system, out of no where, and for some reason, it does make me feel good inside. This bothers me a bit though, as I've always tried to tune my sytem to my particular tastes regardless of what others think of it. That means that I should try to ignore a positive comment as I would try to ignore a negative comment.

I've actually gotten pretty good at this over the years, but I do realize, that as a human, we can shrink our egos, but they will never disappear entirely.

Cheers,
John

I try to keep a low profile with my system. Covetousness can be an ugly thing. In the end everyone loses.

I worry about thievery whenever someone like the pest control guy goes through the house. Is he casing the joint? Dan

With all the time and funds you have invested in your rig, I'm sure it can smack of realism. On an unrelated note, the Lakers took the first step towards a possible repeat. I'm happy about that.

Had kinda/sorta the same thing happen yesterday! The (really cute) property manager at the complex I'm living at knocked on my door to drop off a passcard I requested. The system was on (Santa Fe & the Fat City Horns!) and she sez; "great music!, who is that?" at which point I invite her in and we shared a glass of iced tea. Of course the conversation went to the size of my rig and how deep it went!!;) SCORE!!! Next time I break out the wine and Marvin! The chase is on!!
