What's your biggest surprise in hifi?

After being in this hobby since the 70's, my own 2 biggest surprises are: [1] records sound better than cds. [2] More expensive isn't necessarily better. [for example, I once paid well over $10,000 for a set of separate components which were bettered by a $1500 integrated amp....What were your biggest surprises?

1. How much money some people are prepared to spend on components/cables/etc... -  in the pursuit of "audio nirvana"

2. How much related knowledge some people have acquired about this obsession - thanks Almarg! - just one of many on Agon.

3. the frequency with which some people change components - like changing socks

Boofer - + 1 on the Nait - especially when you treat it to great cables :-)
I have the 5i mk II with the passive front end - amazing!
- I WAS considering the Supernait - thanks fro the info :-)
