I have three hobbies, Audio, Photography and Computers. I got so engrossed reading the entire thread that I got delayed for a dinner invitation.
Most of us go through the same thing, especially with those who happen to be interested in nothing! Yes, that is also true there are people who have no hobbies. Those are the kind who are the most difficult of the lot when one needs to explain the cost of audio system. Someone who is passionately involved in a particular hobby may finally get the hang of it (meaning understand the reason for the expenditure on our part). Keeping a low profile is the best thing one can do. There is no need to explain to anyone why we are so insane. It is just a waste of time.
Enjoy your music (and equipment) and forget about what others have to say.
If you think you are insane just come on over to Audiogon, we are all alike! :)
Happy listening!
PS Although I am a Nikon user, I have no hesitation in accepting the fact that Leica offers better optics and better bodies. Nikon vs Canon? No comments Digital vs Film? I agree with Lugnut about digital more like MP3 and its usefullness, I still think you get better results from good ole Transparency film.
PS 2 Intel vs AMD? Both good in their own ways. I personally use Intel based systems.
