Audiophilia Forever: An Expensive New Year’s Shopping Guide

I'm totally with you on this. Expensive cars can only be driven so much, golfing only in the summer (here anyway), skiing only in the winter, etc... A great audio system can be heard 365 days per year, for several hours each day. Plus, there are no maintenance costs such as tires, new alternator (mine went out on Wednesday), and insurance. If I added up how much my father spends on a golf membership to a championship course here in MN, I bet he could've purchase one heck of an audio system. The six-figure initiation fee just to enter, the three-figure monthly minimum food expenditures, plus all the new golf clubs etc...

 

It sounds crazy, but perhaps our hobby is more reasonable that previously thought. To us anyway. 

Chris,

 

I'm right with you on this. A number of my friends are in disbelief at what I sometimes pay for audio gear. My response is always that I don't play golf, I don't take expensive vacations, I don't own a Porsche (many of them are in the Michigan club)etc. Not to mention, as you noted, I can use my audio system 365 days a year, it requires no maintenance (okay, maybe occasional tubes) and will be there for as many years as I choose to enjoy it.
