Yes, 'poor' is a relative term!

I agree with all your points. Posters here are likely are not poor in the literal sense. I sometimes feel that way reading other forums, when guys talk about upgrading their McIntosh MC501 monoblocks to MC1201s like the money is almost pocket change ...! and it likely *is* to them.

I borrowed an Acurus A150 and liked what I heard; cool to get an SDS kit sometime in the future as an alternate to my 8W 300B amps; sounds like it's a "contender" for a reasonably priced SS amp with excellent sonics.

I do have several "projects" on the list tho! and have to choose if/when I can get what ...

~$200 (Boxee Box, releasing in ~November; Nordost Magus power cord(s) for McIntosh C220, Cambridge 840C)

~$500 (ERGO Room corrector)

~$700 (SDS amp in their 'custom enclosure' as I am not a 'casework' guy, plus good switches and connectors)

~$1500 (used Ref. 3A MM deCapo i speakers)

and it goes up from there ...! I am afraid anything beyond the $500 range will have to wait until I get a (substantial) raise or bonus.

Oh well, such is life ...! I feel privileged to even be able to think about spending >$200 on a hobby.
