BUI - Guilty


OK, how many of us are guilty of buying under the influence?

My story:

I took last Friday off and was listening to some music after partaking of a newly legal substance.  I was thinking how my system would sound with a quality tube preamp.  Thinking turned to surfing, turned to an auction ending in a few minutes.  So with about 10 seconds left, I threw in a bid a bid as a lark and wound up winning at a super reasonable price.

Guilty, i'm now the proud owner of a preowned, recently serviced BAT VK-30SE.  Should be here by the weekend.

So what you in for?

Well, I don't spend what I don't have, under the influence or not.  And next on my list to upgrade was my preamp.

I have no buyer's remorse, only excitement to receive it.  It's on the truck for delivery by end of day.

I think a lot of people have gross misconceptions of the effects of weed.  Sort of like some people commenting on gear they've never heard.
So i've been listening to speakers and intend to do my final review with the same hearing enhancement the OP references, as that is far and away when i'm enjoying my system the most.  My dealer will even do later evening appointments (think 9PM start).  Sorry audio dealer that is.  
I’m surprised no one has started a thread asking if they think their system sounds better on pot ....
But I do .....LOL
I don't know if my system sounds better.  I know I connect with the music better.  I close my eyes, the room and system just seems to disappear and the music takes me where it might.

I don't like listening to the "sound" of my system, so much gets lost in the intent of the artist/writer/composer/performer(s) and I worry about stupid stuff like microdynamics, inner detail, prat, and all the other audiophile stuff. For me it's all about the emotional connection with the music.

Don't get me wrong, listening to the sound of my system has it's purpose, especially when evaluating new gear.  But I'm in it for the music much more than the sound.
I do not regret buying under the influence. Those speakers will be with me until the estate sale.
