The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase
This is tongue in cheek people, so let’s keep the replies light shall we?
The 5 Stages of Making a Bad Audio Purchase:
1. Denial: "My system, which before was of course totally awesome, is now totally awesomer! The sound stage isn’t just 3 dimensional any more, it is 4 dimensional. I can feel fingers sliding across guitar strings, drums are like my head is against the snare, and the bass goes 10hz lower ...."
2. Anger: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T BELIEVE MY SYSTEM WENT FROM AWESOME TO AWESOMER!!!. You obviously have a crap system, your ears are crap, you are just jealous."
3. Bargaining: "Hey, this gadget will make your already awesome system totally awesomer! 60% of MFR list is a great deal for it! That’s 40% off and you don’t even have to pay tax. I am only selling it because I am upgrading to the even awesomer version 2. My loss is your gain."
4. Depression: "I can’t believe I spent $5,000 on this thing ....."
5. Acceptance: "Sure, 75% off list is fair."

If you find this thread so "toxic", why did you feel a need to reply to it? You could have simply ignored it. You could have assumed that people who are here are adults and can make a similar choice for themselves. uberwaltz8,141 posts11-05-2019 2:25pmYou forgot a point I am sure....... |
I maybe wrongly assumed this was still a free world where as long as I follow forum rules I can post what I choose and where I choose. Maybe you consider nobody is allowed to post a view of your OP that contradicts it's purported purpose. Would that not put you in the same boat as those who you repudiate here? Just curious, no need to waste your precious time to reply..... |
@elizabeth Planning, can I afford this?Why always the money? If you have to ask, you can't afford it. @millercarbon Here in Washington we have some sweet green bud that will get you there in one stepComments like that negate all post validity. c.f. "What have you been smokin'?" Perhaps we should have icons next to names : wine or shot glass, joint, bong or syringe? In more than ½ century, I've never evaluated anything when not stone cold sober. I don't even look that dumb!!! |
