What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--

Vinyl...LP's of all sorts, cost be damned. Multiple copies of "rare" LP's, I'm awash in vinyl. I love it, but truth be told I coulda bought the Porsche I lust with the money I spent on analog tunes. No regrets

I fell into the HT trap back in the late 90's. So, the Lexicon, etc, etc. I thought to myself "self, this will do good 2 channel and there's all these new HT 5.1 formats, not to mention DTS, it's gotta be good!". Ahem,.......
Not a year later I commenced to taking over the master bedroom here as a dedicated two channel room, Big $$$ in BAT 50SE, Levinson 33H's etc, etc, etc.

Now if you think that was self-indulgent..........
I recently bought a tube pre for the HT system........
Some new (to me) IRS Betas for mains, and on and on.

The show never ends!

Well people, I had kind of forgotten about HT-- a whole other story, eg I have every "backup component" I need for music in my admittedly "half-assed" HT system. I mean who actually "needs" a Muse M2 DAC in their HT system?-- not to mention, SF Line 1 pre-amp, McCormack DNA-0.5DX amp etc-- well, OK the amp and pre fit, but I very very seldom use this gear for music with our 46" TV, but it is all hooked up. So I suppose all this "extra" gear is pretty self indulgent.

Maybe you've noted re the "car thread" that my wife and I drive pretty modest vehicles.

Jeff; I was interested in hearing from you and Sean too 'cuz I know from your postings that both of you have a LOT of gear-- backups to backups, multiple redundancies etc. Here's to lust (make that zest, bliss, happiness etc.) Craig
