Love for music shatter by highend equipment

Music is life, I rather be blind then deaf. It's pretty sad when I realize that my love for music was shatter by high-end equipment. I have friends that refuse to listen to music because it’s not coming from a high-end system. It’s ridiculous that throw away CDs because the record is not to their standard and they won't listen to it. As a result they listen to only a few CD over and over..and over..... They don't listen to the radio. They don't listen to the stereo in their car. What is going on, could it be the mind playing tricks. After all we are spending $50,000 on a system, and it could make us forget that, "Its all about listening to the music". I have to admit, this high end world is an enigma..

I'm in it for the gear only, most specifically the wires. I only have maybe 50 CDs or so, and about 25-30 LPs.

I use a bryston B60 integrated, vandersteen 1c speakers, an MMF 'table, and an NAD cd player. The wires are all Siltech Compass Lake, though (even the power cords). I've got about $35k invested in wires, $3,500 in components, and $1,000 in software.

Gthrush1, in your particular case, a lot of self-flagellation with the aforementioned Siltech Compass Lake wires may heighten your experience to extatic proportions. :)

That's right. I've thought about making a cat-o-nine with the interconnects. System performance could be further enhanced by obtaining the services of a very strong woman, like maybe anna nicole...

Yes -- and Anna may just come-a-runnin' when she finds out you can afford Compass Lake! :)

Thanks for all the response. It makes me feel that I'm not alone in this opinion.
