I found your post (the $50K system) to be quite productive in reexamining my expenditures on my own system. (In the 4 years or so of the audio hobby) Everything I've bought, kept, and continue to use adds up to about $3600. In addition, there's an extra $1700 in equipment that I don't use. Now, I'd love to be able to sell that extra stuff but it is all stuff that I built and it has far more sentimental value. There are times where I've felt that I've spent too much time and effort but most of that guilt is washed away every time I sit down for a listen. My system has become something I enjoy listening to music with and I wouldn't trade any of the experience I've had with it away. Perhaps the experience Suzy has with own system is far more valuable than $50K?The respondents to your original post do have a point though. It's not as severe, but what you did was similar to tapping a stranger on the shoulder and saying "Excuse me sir, but I think you are a goddamn moron." It may be prefaced with nice langauge but the idea expressed is no less offensive.
