What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--

.......most frivilous item you've ever bought for your stereo system-- make it over $100. bucks. BTW, the "car thread" prompted me to start this one.

I'll confess. I bought a 2nd Levinson M37 transport when I already have a perfectly fine M37. I love this transport as besides having excellent sound characteristics and build quality, it allows for PERMANENT disc and track programming and will store the programs for 1,000s of discs.

I couldn't help it-- the component was beautiful, the price fair, and lust was "running high" at the time. Cheers. Craig

As far as 'decadent' in the true sense of the word...
I'd say the convertible sofa bed sitting in front of the stereo.

Occasionally, I guess we all "think with our ears". Thanks for the feedback David. KP, what a great idea. Too bad the jets in a hot tub would be too loud!

While I'm a real piker compared to some of the gentlemen here (especially KP), the question we must ask ourselves is does any HT rig, even one used for music 90% of the time really need speakers vertically bi-amped with Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects? Mine Does! And NO! It's not an extravagance!

Oz; enjoyed your post(s), and David happy house hunting--especially in finding one with a GREAT STEREO ROOM. Cheers too. Craig

I share David99's obsession. We are house hunting at present and I am vetoing anything that will not be an upgrade for my stereo, but currently disguising it with other excuses like "don't like the area", "not enough sun" etc.
