Should we have an Audiophiles Anonymous


Alcoholics, gamblers, drug useres, why not us?. You've heard it expressed often enough, audiophiles have a sickness, well lets do something about it. I'm a physician and let me tell you, the signs are all there, the constant anxiety and self doubt, the sweats before the next purchase, the all too brief relief of symptoms with each new hit, shorter each time. All unmistakable to the trained eye, the promises to the wife, the pitiful attempts to hide a new purchase, the tears and recriminations when you're found out and brother are you always found out. How do women always now?
We need help, we deserve help, all we need is a program and here is the clincher, I'm sure there will be Federal funding in it, think of the system you could buy with that. No we must'nt weaken, it's been 10 days since my last purchase and that was only a little phono stage, hardly anything really, it does'nt really count, does it?

NO!!! I don't need any help. There is no problem - I can stop buying gear anytime I want to. I just don't want to...yet.
I've recently turned my life over to a higher power amp, so I'm doing just fine, thank you.
years ago i quit drinking,,,then started using drugs and ended up addicted to pain killers and heroin,,after a couple years of being clean i started buying audio equiptment,,just another addiction?maybe ,but i sure get a lot of joy,and no pain,,,from music played on a good system!!
