What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--

Yeah, Viggen nailed a big one for me too, ie the amount of time I spend here on the 'Gon, and the i-net in general. According to my wife, I SHOULD be mowing the %^$#%&** grass etc. Beers. Craig

it might be any of four different choices......maybe it is the Transparent Opus MM speaker cable ($23500 list) or maybe the Kharma Exquisite 1Ds ($70000 list) or maybe my Wind's stylus guage ($650 list) or maybe the Linn CD-12 ($20000 list).....

....of course there is the Rockport Sirius II, the Clearaudio Insider Gold and the Jena Labs custom switchbox.....

actually it may be the mint copy of the Half-Speed Nautilus pressing of "Live At Filmore East" the Allman Brothers i just bought for $225....totally fantastic.

i admit i don't regret any of them....they all exceeded my expectations.

mike,will you send me the discarded cleaning fluid from the LP after you clean it? Its as close as I'll get to this on nautilus!

David, i had been on the lookout for a "good" copy of this lp for awhile, $225 was very self-indulgent, but the record just flat makes me smile and remember back when.........

if you are ever in the Seattle area come on over and listen to it with me.

Equipment, shiquipment! At this point, I am wondering about my sanity since I'm building a house around a listening room. Was there an existing house that met all our non-audio needs? Would that have been a lot more cost-effective? Do I have a wife who lovingly tolerates my "little" excesses! Yes. Yes. Yes.

The only reason I know I must be sane is because Albert Porter, Sean, Cornfedboy (and others)are my support group in building this thing. I know I'm OK ... I know I'm OK ... I know I'm OK ...
