Title: Why your friends and family think your nuts!
Post by: thuffman03 on March 15, 2010, 11:50:53 AM: 1. You consider $1000 for a pair of speakers to be extremely budget friendly.
2. You think amplifiers sound different. Worse, you think CD players sound different!
3. When you buy audio electronics, you buy stuff with fewer features instead of more!!!
4. Your CD player comes with cable yet you buy cable that costs as much as a CD player!
5. You think cables sound different!
6. You play records! Step into the 21st century with the rest of us!
7. You actually listen to music! Not just have it on in the background, but actually listen to it as the main event.
8. You'd rather listen to your hifi than watch TV. Certifiable my friend.
9. You put insulation panels on your walls. Same thing the unibomber did...
10. You think you can hear different MP3 bit rates. Do you have super dog like hearing or something?
11. You keep selling perfectly good equipment to buy new equipment that is for the exact same purpose!
12. You hear things that usually are not associated with music like "air" "grain" "etch" "imaging" "soundstage" "pace" "speed" etc...
13. You're remote control only has 3 buttons!
14. You make people sit in the "sweet spot", whatever that is.

These are clearly warning signs...

BTW, Until further notice, I am no longer posting over there because I'm fed up with the management.

I can understand not wanting to posting on CP. I have been going out less and less these days.

The management is pretty bad over there. You haven't gotten into any arguments I hope. ;)

Post by: icravcarver on March 16, 2010, 10:04:22 PM: Therapist, heck, I can't hear mine over the stereo!!! :P :P :P

I agree with almost all of them, except the part about the wall treatments. I'm spending my dough on gear, not wall art!!!

I'm sure it makes a difference, but until I hit Powerball - I'll have to settle with sheets hanging from the walls.. LOL. ;D
