2. cables

This is a silly hobby.

So, I bought honey a new laptop Friday night. Lots of memory and a big hard-drive, $534. Then I remembered that I'd also ordered a new pair of speaker cables, $578. Just in terms of relative usefulness this seems absurd. Needless to say, I won't be explaining this to my tolerant yet incredulous wife.

I'm just sayin'.

Great responses. You'll notice that my opinion that this was silly didn't stop me from ordering the cables. And yeah, I've got more money in my system than in my wife's wedding rings, although not quite as much as the car. I'm working on it though.

Hey, cabling is the one place where this hobby ISN'T silly, if you're buying used. With the market and my 401K so bouncy, my money is relatively safe in used cabling.
When I got back into this hobby, a 2 meter length of used Valhalla speaker cables was about $3500.00.
Its the same today.
