A couple of weeks ago Tinka said she was going to host a dinner party, and if I would show her how to use the stereo in case any of her guests would like to listen to music on the big stereo (instead of just hearing music casually on the overhead).

Tinka took the start-up sequence and Jadis amplifier warm-up process instructions very seriously, and is now fully big stereo capable (on digital)!
Cue drinks glasses on the amps, chiffon scarves draped over the panels.
I've seen the film. And how it all ends in tragedy, lol.

maybe if they want some lights for the dancing they can switch the tubes on and off, on and off…

My wife will regularly have her tennis team/mass wine consuming gang over for dinner.

After often making them part of dinner I usually am hold up in my listening room coming out for more drink or bathroom. Once in a while a couple of them will venture up to hear a couple of songs but not regularly.

Last week I was listening at a moderate level and all I could hear is the happy laughter and howls of the gang down stairs.

Don't forget to tell Tinka and the guests not to stick their fingers in the tweeters, and to aim the champagne corks away from the goods. Maybe some electrified velvet rope guards there. Weaving guests with gooey hors d'oeuvres are hazards. Be sure to lock up the turntable room and/or have an undefeatable stylus guard. You have a dog, so all critical components are probably already above a poodle's general urine firing range.

A volume limiter on the preamp is advisable against the guests who get tipsy and want to dance to Led Zeppelin at concert volumes.

I still remember Steve William's buddy Grellman who had his little kid on a harnass tether in his listening room. The kid still managed to get to the big Rockport speakers and destroy some diaphragms, which had to be replaced.

watch the tennis coach/trainer :D
I see you have visited Beverly Hills already. Masseurs and golf pros and even hairdressers are feared seconds.

I don't think there's a pool, so the pool boys don't count.
