Point of diminishing returns


What does it mean?

Mt10425: I so couldn't understand how it was that you couldn't understand Drubin's post, my head twisted off my shoulders and landed across the room. I went over, picked it up, put it back where it once was and came back to re-read your post slower. I'm still not sure I understand...oh well.

(Now *there's* a post that'll really make heads spin ;^)

P.S. -- Any further comment on this will have passed the point of diminishing returns.
The point of diminishing returns is just past the amount of money you have spent and justified to yourself as necessary to achieve the sound you want, and just before the amount of money other idiots have spent on their systems for sound refinements that are clearly not worth the money.

It is also right at the point in the price performance curve where component comparisons shift from differences described as KICKS ASS to differences described as "I think I can hear...."
In our hobby;it depends where our focus is placed. (Think,OJ trial.)A decent boom-box or 200k in components both play music,with a ka-jillion steps between them. I would guess there are some whom have had the same pieces for 5//7/10 years.Then there's me and many others trading all the time. Speakers are a great example for this 'P of D R' theory___ That is, in someone else's opinion.__ My money, my choices,my enjoyment. That extra 2% is what makes my boat float. Some things are just hard to place that 'P of D R' on. If money is your main focus you will have a different point of reference. I say enjoy what you can afford and expect 'that' should be more important than other opinions.
