I guess it was when I bought my Graham 1.5T (actually, traded a pair of ARC M300/Classic 150s for it) tonearm, since at the time I had a Well Tempered TT which couldn't use it and no particular prospect of getting a replacement for the TT. It was such a work of art, though, I had to get it. This probably shouldn't count towards this thread, since ultimately I did get my Basis TT which could use the arm within about 8 months.
What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--
.......most frivilous item you've ever bought for your stereo system-- make it over $100. bucks. BTW, the "car thread" prompted me to start this one.
I'll confess. I bought a 2nd Levinson M37 transport when I already have a perfectly fine M37. I love this transport as besides having excellent sound characteristics and build quality, it allows for PERMANENT disc and track programming and will store the programs for 1,000s of discs.
I couldn't help it-- the component was beautiful, the price fair, and lust was "running high" at the time. Cheers. Craig
