What other obsessions do you have?

Gullahisland.

I guess I can see your point, from my standpoint, I feel we all need to appreciate that many of us DO spend ridiculous money on our hobby/hobbies. As for the Seven cycles from Timo....I've conacted him and urged him to upgrade some things..... I won't say what my bike ran, but I can tell you it can run at 50+ mph and that to me is worth all the world!

Marco, you had me laughing so hard I was rolling on the floor ;0

Since I am one of the "self-absorbed braggarts and snobs" that Gullahisland picked as illustration of his point, I feel that I have earned the right to comment.

This thread is about obsessions, which by definition is normally practised in a totally out of order, OTT manner from the perspective of a sane person. So, having a system that costs more than the GDP of a 3rd world country clearly qualifies. Having a nice sounding system costing a little more than a European luxury sedan (no names - me no snob) may not quite qualify in some ofour memebers' eyes. It depends very much on your perspective ! and the degree of your obsession !!

Knowing the typical A'goner's obessesive musical enterprise may also cross over to other areas of interest, I dare say that there isn't nearly half as many "braggarts and snobs" as Gullahisland had observed. Perhaps, from his perspective we are boastful. But, that is just his own view. However, when Gullahisland extends sweeping assumptions of other people's intentions based on a few off the cuff remarks, he is perhaps showing us a little of what he is really made of.

I shall not second guess Gullahisland's reason for his past comments in this thread. Perhaps, he simply had a bad hair day. Me, I have no hair (at least not much left), so I am cool ;-)

When I returned to this thread and read the fire and lava this once benign volcano of a thread began spewing I was ready to nominate Gullahisland as the president of our Snobish Audiophile Money-Wasting Arrogant Braggarts Society [SAMWABS], but the MoFo has gone soft on us with his last few posts. Oh well...

Now, did someone mention equine-genitalia? Of course that would have to be Marco.

who is MoFO ?

I was just curious what types of activities others were enjoying when not listening to music.

I had no idea it would draw such hatred from some people. Are those who own $5000 bikes or mutliple cases of wine criminals? Is it illegal to be involved in these choices? Good for you for enjoying your life (those of you who do) but remember it is short. Use it wisely and be happy!
