Beloved equipment

What's up with sellers describing their equipment as "beloved" as in "I'm selling my beloved power amp..." Are people forming an emotional relationship with a bunch of electric circuits housed in metal cases? I mean it's cool with me if that's your thing, but it does strike me as a little fetish-like. I wonder if anybody will admit to it, but are audiophiles bringing home flowers for their preamps and putting them in fancy lingerie?

The 'most erotic' connection is the 1/4" stereo jack! on the front panel.
Just thinking about it... OOOhhhhHHHHh
(Is this porno-thought allowed???)
I always use a mini-jack by the way!

My beloved 'horn' has been known to make some ear piercing cat type wailing on occasion (rare occasion, I might add). I always get the gold medal. Nobody remembers those that come second eh?
Oo-er missus.

You should see my La Luce TT with a scarlet color vinyl being played... beats Giesel in lingerie by a mile.

I really love my Linn LP 12, circa 1991. I know there are better tables, but it has a sound that has grown very dear to me. It is pure comfort.
