This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us

tgrisham, sounds like a potential 'audiophile hell'...

First thing that would happen is your spirit/ghost decides on an upgrade.

Second, a potential 'system glitch';  something 'skips', a 'locking groove', 'stutters', 'hummmmm', power loss....name your terror, it may await you.

Third, warranty coverage.  I don't know of any techs that make 'house calls' to crypts....and who might make that call for service, anyway.  I can hear That Call already, and the response on the other end of the call...

"You want us to do What?!"

It's like getting parts for the flying saucer in my garage....the parts are cheap, but the shipping is literally out of this world...;)

My wife knows what everything costs and she doesn't care as long as i enjoy it which i do.

A customer of mine, who had a vintage Ferarri in the garage, was not shy at all about spending money on audio stuff. He mentioned that whenever his wife asked how much such and such cost he would tell her the cost but without the last zero. She still complained bitterly.

Okay, this was funny.
