How do you rationalize audio upgrades?


Thought this could be a fun topic, especially after a Friday night libation, or two.

I'm going to add a turntable to my audio system. I am listening to different turntables and the amount I consider spending is increasing. $1500 max is now heading towards $2700.

What do you say to yourself to "rationalize" your decision to spend more?

I amortize over time.

You?

LOL. For the win.
Yes.

Another poster, on another thread says rationalizing can cost more because you spend more in the long run when you just settle for something based on cost.
In for a penny, in for a pound.

Once I start to even think of buying something, it mostly ends with me buying said something.

All the best,
