What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--

.......most frivilous item you've ever bought for your stereo system-- make it over $100. bucks. BTW, the "car thread" prompted me to start this one.

I'll confess. I bought a 2nd Levinson M37 transport when I already have a perfectly fine M37. I love this transport as besides having excellent sound characteristics and build quality, it allows for PERMANENT disc and track programming and will store the programs for 1,000s of discs.

I couldn't help it-- the component was beautiful, the price fair, and lust was "running high" at the time. Cheers. Craig

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.
