Would you pay to listen?

Would i pay to listen? ..... depends on who's singing !!!!

Mitch4t...Wow...that one just steamed right by ya! Sorry though. I do have trouble with the practice of any form of mirth control. However, I suppose humorous or satirical writing has NO place in an audio forum and from now on I promise to be dreary and technical and keep my satirical rants to myself. Or not. Please let me know when I cross the line...I can also loan you a ladder to help insure that in the future less things go over your head.

Okay Wolf, you blew that one by me. I thought that you'd flipped out. Thanks for the offer of the ladder, but I suggest you hold onto your day job.....

i just realized that the question "would you pay to listen" is ambiguous.

it's obvious that if you travel to rmaf or ces there is a travel, room and board cost asoociated with the trip.

i believe the connotation of the question is:

would you pay to listen to a component or stereo system ?

if so, i would not.

while it is less costly to outlay $50.00 than to buy a component , sell it and loss more than $50, out of principle, i refuse to pay to listen to a stereo system, regardless of its alleged reputation of sound quality.

i guess i'll miss the experienece.

i won't pay $50 to borrow a component either.

i'll find a component that i can borrow for an audition, without paying for it.

Mrtennis, thankyou sir for your difference of opinion, this is what makes the threads more interesting to read at times. Sometimes it is hard for me not to want to try other products especially ones that have been ranted over and then have to pay for that privilege on top of it. If the crowd is all moving to the right, I may go in that direction to see what all the fuss is about. Human nature I suppose.
