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."

My circle of friends include Kevin Gray, Steve Hoffman, Robert Pincus-all well known remastering engineers. Maybe you hate their work-most people don’t. Other musician long time friends include a conductor Noreen Green of a private symphony whose members consist of top LA Symphony and Hollywood studio musicians, Viklarbo Chamber Group headed by Maria Newman (you know Alfred Newman’s daughter), many opera singers and my large coterie of singers and instrumentalists. I really doubt you have as deep and broad a connection to music as I have. Too bad, you should get out more.

I doubt you share listening to music using headphones. You are a "know it all" type person.  Anyone who states that they haven't been wrong since 1985 is an arrogant fool. 
I am an intellectual without all the answers, curious and learning all the time.
Oh, please! See? That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Definition of an expert - someone who used to be a drip under pressure. You’ve been following the wrong, you know.....

fleschler,

geoff is just baiting you to validate his existence. He is a classic troll, and the best way to deal with them is to starve them.
