Funny:
This morning I balked @ buying the spring loaded "on sale" footers ($13.45/set of 4/free delivery) noted in a new/recent thread, but this afternoon I purchased my wife a $900 Elsa Peretti necklace without a flinch.
Good question.

Why do so many members seem afraid of making an audio decision?
I mean it's a hobby sort of. It should be fun. If you cannot hear the difference between two components, cables, or tweaks, then you can't. It's ok not to. Honestly, I sometimes think that some mass hysteria hits the audio community over a new product that later doesn't pan out or some (big)scandal, and people get bent out of shape over it.
Here in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs I'm fortunate to have a pretty good slice of audio dealers plus having very different opinions on the subject. That I think is great. I may not agree with some dealers' tastes or recommendations but that's also ok. After doing this for a while, you learn from your mistakes and also get a handle on what you, yourself like without having to have someone else always telling you. What I have learned over decades; if I like something, I like something, and if I don't like it or hear it, or think it's an improvement, well I pretty much trust my own decision making. I come to Audiogon hopefully to learn from the more experienced enthusiasts about recent developments and about my own stuff.
