''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum

How dover killed his own ''rtinciple'' or  ''arguments''.

We first got as ''general rule'' (12-24) : ''it comes down to economics

and budget''

(12-27) ''it is very simple : cost benefit analysis'' (principle?)

But : ''it is not your business what I paid for my (3x) rebuild''.

Well I reported ''my prices'' but he refuses to report his . How

than can we make ''cost benefit analysis?

But then as by the Greek ''deus ex machina''

the Denon 103 D. as ''prove'' that the point is not about prices.

But why should our members bother about ''rebuild'', ''refreshment''

or even my ''inferior  retip '' for  500 euro when we can get

new Denon 103 D for $ 280 ? 

Well pindac, You don't need to be modest reg. your intellectual

capabilities. I deed need to search for the meaning of your

expression ''merryment'' because there was no such word in my

Dutch English vocabulary . But on internet was even its social

function explained as humour. You are the first who grasped 

my intention to be , say, amusing. People obviously consider

philosophy and logic as ''serous business. But this is not the case

as an French mathematician stated about logical explanation 

of mathematics:  ''this logical approach is certainly not infertile 

it produces paradoxes''. 

Thanks for your understanding .

By definition, basic cost benefit analysis is a process of examining a variety of combinations and scenarios where there are costs and associated benefits. This can be accounting.  The total benefits outweigh the total costs.

However - What is the extra benefit (utility) you obtain from spending an extra amount of money given a menu of combinations?

This is economics and the process becomes rather more nuanced, but we usually all become so good at it that it becomes intuitive.

Note - I say extra. Should it be positive amount, it is a trade that you may decide upon. Because audiophiles are decisive folk. 

It may be a negative number, like when you have just bought a wonderful CD collection and you then you buy anything by Adele.  I digress.

Budget only becomes meaningful when it is a constraint and the possible combinations are thereby limited.

@dover was not incorrect.

noske, this is the worst PR story i have ever seen. In Dutch

jurisprudence was an case about advertisement with a curious

judgment : ''the bigger the lie the smaller the lie''. That is

if even  the kids can ''grasp'' the lie it should not count as lie.

Tell a lie as well pretending is an art.  The art to compose a lie which

looks like truth. This imply that lie which are obvious make no sense.

There are however ''honest kind''. As , for example, from this

Danish philosopher who stated: ''I never lie because I don't need

to remember them''.
