The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase

"The more you realize nothing makes sense, it begins to make sense."

@elliottbnewcombjr, The warp & weft of this forum (esp. the 'warp factor' ;;;)) *L*) has been amusing enough, at least to me. *G*

Starting with 'buyer's remorse, segway to drugs 'n alcohol and the use of for 'enhancement'/'blunting'.  Followed by a tad of minor review of the + 'n - of That, which has existed since the species found that bad grain, certain sorts of smoke or veggies made one 'different'....

'Bell curve' stuff again.  What some find amusing, others go dead serious about or *yawn*.  Seemingly endless scraps over cable X vs.(insert letter Here), speakers, amps, spaces, places to (or not) to purchase from...

At least, at the end of the day, we do agree on one thing:
We like music.  It evokes various responses in each and all that we like.
How we do so...there's the rub.  Love it, hate it, like it, leave it.  Seems to apply to nearly everything 'umans' do...or don't. *L*

*End of PSA*
*snicker*G*

Nope, we can't even agree to this. According to some, who seem to have a delusion, people that understand the technical aspects of audio  couldn't possibly just listen to and enjoy music :-)

I like to pretend that that’s exactly what they want my loose change for, so they can finally power up their CH Precision preamp with that long-coveted Odin power cable....

I spent 10 bucks on my SONY WALKMAN CD Player, 10 bucks on my SONY MDR v700 Headphones 🎧 which are fabulous by the way, so as you can imagine I have ZERO buyer’s remorse for my system. I do have a little tiny bit of buyer’s remorse for all the tweaks in my room, however. I estimate there must be at least a few grand tied up in tweaks. Oh, well, that’s the way it goes sometime.
