Oh yeah, that's my wife to a tee! Could care less, even though anytime I put the Eagles (HFO) in, she's right there saying how amazing they sound! Clueless as to why that is! :rolleyesno:

I’m lucky, my wife’s totally on board with our HT. But then I’m not as loopy and obsessive as this guy is. Audiophiles of that ilk are a sad bunch, IMO. Always switching out gear looking for the holy grail, and then when they find it they still aren’t happy and think maybe they can do better.

Regards,
Wayne
