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

Well maybe not a tweek but a useless thing I purchased was a projector-I seldom use the freaking thing!!! but I just had to have it. It doesn't help my sound, it doesn't do much in fact but its the favorite part of my system to all of the ladies :) thus leading me to believe it is self indulgent.

The amount of time I spend on the internet and tweaking my stereo is sorta decadent.

Yeah, Viggen nailed a big one for me too, ie the amount of time I spend here on the 'Gon, and the i-net in general. According to my wife, I SHOULD be mowing the %^$#%&** grass etc. Beers. Craig
