If you lost your stereo system would you still ???

If I lost my current system and couldn't replace it with something similar, I think I'd get a nice cassette player. Hey, you can get used cassettes for a buck or two, sometimes less.
I would leave the planned obsolescence of formats behind forever and not really care.
I've always enjoyed music, even before I had the "good" stuff. 8^)

I can be pretty damn happy with my Tivoli radio - sometimes it makes me kinda sick to think of it compared to my stereo, the enjoyment to dollar ratio it STOMPS my rig

Yes. Probably only 33% of my listening is via the high end stuff. But when I do I listen to the big bucks system I seem to listen more and multi-task not at all. As long as I have control over the content I can listen on less revealing systems like the $139 Aiwa 3 disc changer beside the computer that I'm typing on now. Actually I'm considering replacing it with c-j and small Thiels soon...

I'm an audiophile. I live for the listening session, good or bad. I bought an Acura TL solely for the stereo system. I sometimes think I want a second system of old 70's vintage crappy sounding equipment so I can reminisce what my system sounded like back when I spent all my money on weed...
My audio-cohort and I drove to Vegas for CES in said Acura listening to DVD audio and redbook, got to Vegas and blitzed both CES and HES even though I'm not in the industry (I had cards printed up two years ago). At one point I was having a critical listen in an elevator with a total stranger over Muzak.
I love motorcycles, too. My wife made me sell my R1 a year ago. I would buy a "beater" in a heartbeat if she'd let me, I'm jonesing so much for riding.
Does that answer your question?

What kind of weed was that?We always used to say,I'd rather listen to a boombox and Thai or Columbian than a Mcintosh-Luxman system with nothing,YMMV,Bob
