Special birthday audio gift to yourself?

I read Warrenh's response as "selling my wife for a set of interconnects" It's an interesting thought, but I'm sure mine is worth more than one set of interconnects, at least a whole cable loom. I missed my 50th, d-oh, maybe I should be thinking of my 60th, thats much more of a milestone surely. It would'nt be an item of HiFi though, just some more hair and brain cells, to replace the 1000's of both I am loosing daily

I just normally go to Music Direct buy myself
nice cd's like XRCD,SACD's,HDCD,and vynil, that
simple.At least $100 worth of cd"s.

My big 50 birthday is coming up next year. I plan to spend it listening to island music while cruising the Hawaiian islands. :o) Aloha!

Turning 43 on Nov 9th. Bought myself a couple of "The Jerry Garcia Band" CD's. From the looks of the above posts, it looks like I'm short changing myself.

I wonder how old before a person give-up all his gears?
