To me, THAT is the true way to start them on a road of actually UNDERSTANDING why we buy what we buy and do what we do in this weird bubble we call "being an audiophile".
I tried discussing gear with some music lovers at when I started this new job (After all, they're engineers! They SHOULD understand, because they know electronics and electricity)- Nada. Blank stares. "Bose-I-fied" looks of bewilderment...
I then began discussing the music they like and WHY they like it. Thankfully for me, most like jazz and classical, with only one or two that are into modern pop- something I know nothing about or listen to. It was like a door was opened. Seems the more someone has something in common with you, the easier it is to introduce these rather abstract concepts we call being an audiophile. They tend to be more open to the idea that THEIR music CAN sound better...
Just my 2 cents... YMMV
