Men have hobbies. Hobbies are often expensive. 

• My brother-in-law's hobby is fishing for salmon on Lake Huron. He bought a 26' powerboat, downriggers, fish-finding radar, GPS, rods and reels, a boatload of tackle, etc. This stuff cost over $100,000. Should people laugh at him?
• Golf equipment is relatively inexpensive. OTOH, annual green fees at a prestige club run well into 6 figures and that's only after after your initial joining fee.
• Do musicians really need a Martin D45?  "Vintage Guitar ranking of valuable guitars saw the D-45 (models made between 1936 and 1942) in first place, worth between $250,000 and $400,000".  "pre-war D-45s fetch "more than 20 times as much as a recent issue D-45, even though there is relatively little difference in design"

 

Audiophilia is obsessive-compulsive behaviour. If it is harming your life, then it is a problem. If it is not causing harm, then it's just a hobby. Relax, enjoy the endorphins.

 

Some people's hobby is trolling on the internet. I believe the initial post in this thread is a good example. 

 

No the OP was a bit of light hearted humour, like Chris said it helps to be able to laugh at yourself... Try it.
