Hey RICH Audiophiles


 Why don't one of you incredibly wealthy audiophiles whose systems I drool over every day start an Audiophile Rental business?
 Imagine how easy to simply rent a set of speakers or amp for a nominal fee so us POOR enthusiasts could demo it in our own home/system without restocking fees or massive depreciation when reselling..No more sitting in traffic,wasting gas & polluting the environment running from dealer to dealer only to be greeting by horrible listening conditions that give you ABSOLUTELY no idea how a piece of gear will actually sound in your own listening room...

A rich audiophile has about as much chance of getting into Audio Nirvana as a 🐪 has of passing through the 👁 of a needle.
You mean there IS such a thing as a rich audiophile? If any hobby will make you poor, this is it. Oh, I mean besides chasing women or playing Black Jack. :-)

I believe chasing women is a lot cheaper than marrying one.  Single women tend to tolerate audiophiles more as well.
It may be that you are mistaking indifference with tolerance. Jokes aside, my wife of 20+ years enjoys my audio habit.
