Keep system in common area and have a sense of humor about HIFI

fortunately, I never feel like my system isolates me.

Set your system up in a common area where others can enjoy it and use it. I don't let my kids use my turntable (at some point I will), but I'm all too happy to let them control our computer-based music via iPad app. They enjoy cuing up music as much as I do.

Also... It helps to have a sense of humor about this hobby. I never try to convince people that what I've spent should make sense to them. ..By freely admitting it's a frivolous obsession people move on and don't denigrate me for it. After all, if someone owns a Mercedes, a Rolex, or even a Mount Blanc pen then they too have engaged in frivolous spending; most reasonable people generally see the hypocrisy in being super critical.
