Disappointing Evening

You should have served more liquor,, much more.

Everybody has different priorities in their lives and what is a passion for one person means nothing to someone else. Whether it is audio, cars, clothes, food, homes etc, people look at the world differently. When people see my system, they might make a comment or wonder why someone would do this. Music has always been a core to my spirit and that is outside of other people. What I will say is that anymore who has any disposable income for anything should feel very lucky and very grateful. There are many people out there who are worrying about having food on the table or a roof over their heads. In addition, many people do not have their mental or physical health and in that circumstance none of these material things mean anything. We are not entitled to anything and many people out there struggle much more than thinking about what cable would better compliment their amp. Enjoy the hobby and dont worry about what anyone else thinks. It should not be ego oriented but more enjoyment oriented. Just my thoughts. Stephen

Markpao, why don't you post your systems ?

I am sure you would have a better chance of getting a positive response here, among fellow enthusiasts.

hi orpheus:

there's nothing like a good debate about equipment to sharpen your mind. remember keep your brain in shape. a good argument where you have to think on your feet is beneficial. look at your carping audiophile critics as a positive experience instead of a negative one. you can always humor them or laugh.

send them to me. i'll take care of them.

To hell with those who have no food or shelter. They got what they and their predecessors deserve. But I agree that spending more than $50k on stereo is a complete idiocy any angle you look at it from.
