You know you're an audiophile if...

[jtwrace]

....you encourage your wife to take a bath so you can listen

....you leave the in-laws early saying that you are tired but you turned the stereo on before you went there so it's ready when you bolt from the in-laws.

....you consider "date night" hanging acoustic treatments together

....you talk about the online forum friends like they are your longtime family friends (and you've never talked to any of them)

- your dog listens with you, and leaves the room when you put on an MP3 recording.

- you refuse to post pictures of your system on an audiophile site for fear that (insert misguided fear here)

(insert misguided fear here)... Panel Envy?

You know.....

You never participate in house keeping, Ie. dusting, vacuuming. But yet you clean and polish your system with such loving care.

Sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention. I was trying to keep this light / make a joke (it obviously did not work, for that I do sincerely apologize.) I do understand the nature of your business and the points you make. But to talk about the CLXs the way you do and then say the Summits are as good is a little like saying "but I didn't inhale". Let's call it like it is. The Summits are great speakers but the CLXs are better and that you enjoy the H.. out them every time you listen. This is the 'lunatic fringe' and I for one enjoy it.

Not offended at all....

I never said the Summits were as good as the CLX, I said I was perfectly happy with them.

And, yeah I'm doomed with house stuff next year, because I had so much fun with the hifi this year...

your wife talks you into buying a number bigger amplifier for your MLs than you initially intended!

But you can claim that you are "just working" and not having fun !

. . . for fear that Ethan will make fun of your cable lifters and vibration-control accessories.

I think in the end, most people are obsessed about something, whether it be hifi, golf, sports, whatever...

In your case it is cats, judging from your new avatar!

All the best guys use cats - including Ethan My cat is the hardest, though. Don't mess with him - or else!

Nope, it's my Lakeland Terrier, Jerry doing what he does best, sleep on his back!

I wish I could be that Zen...

When you wake up one day and say to yourself, "those people are right, tubes DO sound better!"
