members and their systems


for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers..       they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different.           what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?       
  i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?       do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ? —- i still have it, maybe i moved it to a second system, perhaps i sold it.

i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?  — i own NewYorkSubHP.com a sandwich shop in dallas Texas. We are a New York style deli that uses all local texas meats that are cured/smoked/roasted in house. Its a true mom and pop and we work our butts off every day. 
do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

-yes, i have all kinds of bills to pay.

"They start a thread saying how great it is because they’re getting ready to list it."
Winner winner chicken dinner!

"You cannot buy the sound from a component that you can learn to build on your own."

Too right. Who ever heard of a component using vacuum capacitors? Just for example.
Birdsdontrow- Don’t think Einstein is right in the head. He’s in the Doghouse a lot!

I have a Credit Union credit card that has a great rate; my only debt. I know I won’t spend money out of my savings so I put it on the card and pay it off by selling Tools and older Audio Equipment. I Try buying used when I can. I’m feeling a new set of Speaker in a month or two.
I know it might be a little silly, but it’s the only way I’ll buy a 5-7k piece of equipment. Divorced, son lives by the Gulf, partially retired. With COVID, what the hell else are we going to do?
