What is the crossover point ?

Dont you ever feel guilty about what you spend on this stuff? I do sometimes even though I can afford what I buy. I think compared to other 'hobbies' this is far more addictive, and the spending to improve increases exponentially.

Ah, grasshopper, I fear that the urge to torture ones self with this question -- to permit the natterings of the ignorant masses to cloud the purity of your noble purpose with doubt -- reflects only a self-defeating lapse in commitment on the path to enlightenment.

Or, if that nagging voice in the back of your head -- arguing that a pursuit of tweaky audio trinkets and baubles is causing a mission-critical neglect of the necessities -- is actually your own, then perhaps you should listen.

BS-light(er) version? If it's others trying to convince you to not be happy doing what makes you happy, screw'em. But, no, don't think any of this junk is worth going into debt over....

I know audiophiles with basically a few $100 in there systems. I know gear nuts with $10000s who do not understand how to get good sound or really care more into buying brands than performance. While some guys are setting up with care working on there systems to improve them. Many guys just write out a check. To be a audiophile is to be interest in getting the best sound out of your system. It doesn't mater how much you spend. Just like bikers you can not buy your way into being a true biker its a lifestyle no mater how much you spend on M/C leathers ink. Your not a biker unless you are...If your a audiophile you will know. And if your not other audiophiles will know.
