Are you Guys Rich or What!?

I think most people who are looking at Equipment on the AudiogoN website are Stereo enthusiasts who are looking for a good deal on top notch stereo gear! Some people have more excess money to spend on this hobby than others. There should be no guilt attached to putting together a nice system. Are the prices for high end stereos a bit ridiculous, heck yeah!(Power Cords that retail for $4,000, PLEASE!) But then so are sports cars and everything else that is the best of the best. This website helps many Stereo hobbyist afford nicer equipment than they could normally afford. It's great. I would say most people aren't rich who read(and use) this website, just a bit enthusiastic about their hobby (stereo & video gear)! :) I really enjoy this hobby and especailly doing one upgrade at a time to hear each little improvement. It's a fun hobby that only hurts my checkbook from time to time.

Yes, I am rich.

Sorry about that last post of mine, but I couldn't resist. My kids are finished with college my Beautiful high school sweetheart( I class of 71 and my bride class of 72) have just finished building our final home, complete with sound room / living room. Whats wrong with living a good life. Our investments are strong, and my retirement is set. I love this hobby and I love music. It started 30 years ago with me. Back then they thought I was nuts but today they think I'm eccentric, go figure. Peace and Good Listening.

I find that living with a parent who is obsessed with audio equipment is the way to go, you get to listen to there reference level system for free.

I started buying stereo equipment when I was 16 and have been hooked ever since. I have had my share of complete junk in my system but my desire to improve the sound always kept me looking for good deals. I started with a Yamaha AV-34 integrated amp (which I still own) and now at 26 I have just purchased a Plinius SA250MKIII. Is this the end......probably not but I do LOVE the Plinius! Places like Audiogon are key to building a High-Fi system with only a minor investment. I can tell you my systems level of quality jumped up a couple of notches when I discovered this site.
