A Tough Question

Was watching "Fight Club" the other night and in it Brad Pitt's character opines that you don't own your possessions, but your possessions own you. As applied to our hobby the question becomes, do you own your system, or does your system own you?

There have been times in my audiophile progression that my system has definitely had me be the short hairs, but as of late I've felt like I'm the one in control, at least most of the time. Basically, when I'm enjoying music, I'm on top. When I'm concentrating on the sound of the system, then the system has the upper hand. Unfortunately, my system generally sound quite good, but it's far from perfect and there's always something I know I could do to improve it's overall performance. As a result, I'm never sure where I stand. Do you know where you stand?

Maybe just a little too Funk Shui?

How can any exchange built upon the philosophical musings expoused in "Fight Club" not be deep? Deeper still, anyone who mentions of Feng Shui is still in the "Ikea" stage of their personal development.

The Burger King hamburger? Now there is a whole new perspective of ownership!

What happens if you purchase & consume this wonderful fast-food creation of chopped cow, which resides in your colon for 7 years. During this duration does the hamburger own you, or is it just a 7 year lease with option to buy?

I can’t believe there‘s a thread that has ANYTHING to do with Brad Pitt that has survived for 96 hours at Audiogon. Sort of like a thread here about the quality of Bose going for three months.

I thought it was called “Fight Club” because you secretly wished to be part of a club that could continually “punch out“ Brad Pitiful.

OK, so I don’t like him........had to get that out of my system. I don’t like mimes either. Maybe I should start a thread on movie stars that I hate, love, like and dislike.

Albertporter, Would you feel better if we all get together & hang Brad Pitt from a ceiling with chains like the Bose 901 fad? Gosh Brad's girlish screaming, might actually sound better that the Bose 901's reproduction of female vocals?
