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

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 ...
Oz- wonder no more.this 'hobby' is a major obsession for most of us.some may refuse to admit it though.Im in the process of house hunting.my main concern is finding a house with a killer room!I wouldnt be moving if the house I own now had a better room.I could add on but the only spot for an addition would put the room too close to the neighbors house.cant have that with my head banging music.I want a big basement room.thats where I head first when looking at a house.do 'civilians' think Im nuts? at this point I dont care.I guess a move to a different house with a killer dedicated basement room is my most decadent,self indulgence.
As far as 'decadent' in the true sense of the word...
I'd say the convertible sofa bed sitting in front of the stereo.

Occasionally, I guess we all "think with our ears". Thanks for the feedback David. KP, what a great idea. Too bad the jets in a hot tub would be too loud!
