Who else here is frugal?

Do you remember erik_squires the one time I came here asking for help? My integrated had no pre-out, and I wanted to add one to run my sub amps. Do you remember? Let me refresh your memory some more. I thought it could be done with a simple mod using a pair of existing unused RCA inputs. A simple mod. Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience or ideas.

Now do you remember? Because I sure do. Your answer was to sell my amp and buy one with a sub out. Spend thousands of dollars. Your knee-jerk reaction. Thousands. Even when I said hey I like my integrated, this mod will be cheap. (Wound up being $1.54 with tax.) No you said spend thousands of dollars.

You are a lot of things Erik_squires but the last thing in the world you are is frugal.

I listen to everything, recognize what I hear, then work to spend the least I can to get that sound. 

Hey @millercarbon

Yeah, sometimes I suggest that preserving the value of what you have is a better idea than hacking it, especially if the poster doesn’t seem to be very technically inclined.

Since you are in my grill over every single post, tell us how you suffered. Tell us what great big trauma my suggestion caused you.

I mean damn, this is right up there with "I went to the doctor and he failed to diagnose my cancer so I am now in hospice" type of grudge. Tell us all how hard this was on you. We’re listening.

Best,
E

I've always found it easier to spend someone else's money,rather than spend my own.
