WTF is wrong with me?? I cant stop buying stuff!!

[stewfoo]

Damn this is crazy. Today I just bought 4 pair of in-ceiling CCm80 ceiling speakers for my place (and I have no distribution system), Classe 2100 ;x( for my surrounds (currently ccm80 in ceilings :blink: ) and some oh so sweet silver digital interconnects from Lex @ CAT Cables.

This is an illness..... Dam, now I need some 805s for surrounds and some better speaker cables...... When is it gonna stop?

[eddiem67]

funny thing... My wife did leave me!

(seriously) 8O

You should see my system now! 8)

[aud19]

Can you imagine the systems we'd have if we were all single!?! :E :lol:

[wkhanna]

GEE?????????

Maybe my next upgrade should be a divorce lawyer?

[stewfoo]

my wife is way too hot... and I am not getting any skinnier. I need to play this one smart... I guess it is better for my wife because I dont have spare money now to spend at xxxx bars.

[cuda65]

Spend your lawyer money on your system. Believe me you could get a nice system for what lawyers and divorce cost you. :E

[audioqueso]

lol... this has to be the funniest thread I've ever read. You know... you COULD always just brainwash her. Or go away on a business trip, and use ALL of the per diem money strictly on new stereo toys. That's extra free money.

[Foxman]

Ditto.

Not getting any skinnier, younger or growing any more hair on top unless it happens to be gray.
:cry:

[GregLett]

It's cheaper to keep her! believe me

[stewfoo]

I was thinking..... I see alot of threads moved because they are not relevant to the forum.... HMMMMMM, where to place this one??..... good luck...

[Azeke]

With the direction this seems to be heading I would say it would go in the After Midnight Forum. However, let's not digress here.

Before I would purchase electronics, large purchases, when my wife left town. It probably took 6 months for her to realize it was there. I have now changed my tune, and let her know before I purchase anything. If I were single, I would probably be really broke -$$$$$$$, but in HT bliss.

Back on topic,

Azeke

[stewfoo]

My mistake is that, because I am always out of town, I put her in charge of paying bills..... She sees everything now. I guess it keeps me fairly solvent... BTW, I havent told her about these purchases yet... ugh.

[Lex]

get ahold of yourself. After you get all your CATs, lol.

thanks Stewart.

Doug

[stewfoo]

hahhahahahaha Thats what all my dealers say.

[Glen B]

My mistake is that, because I am always out of town, I put her in charge of paying bills..... She sees everything now.

The answer is online bill payment (if your bank offers this service). You can pay your bills even when you're out of town or pre-schedule payment dates before you leave home. :T It has been some years since I've paid a bill by check.

[Blindamood]

Better yet is to maintain 3 separate checking accounts...one for the house and regular bills...then one for me and one for her to spend as we wish. :B

Of course, it helps that we both work.

[Blindamood]

BTW, back to the topic...

I just picked up a brand new Rotel RMB-1075 at my dealer. Can't wait to set it up. Look for a near-mint Adcom 7700 5-channel amp to show up on audiogon soon. (I try my best not to keep the redundant equipment around...also helps with the wife acceptance factor.)

[ht_addict]

I just ordered a new Denon 3910 to compliment my 4806. Now I'm thinking its time to change the 47" RPTV downstairs with a nice 42" LCD with HDMI. The Sceptre 42" X42GV-Naga.

you COULD always just brainwash her

Heehee, I can see the movie now: The Lexford Wives :B

Lex would be the head of a mysterious neighborhood where the men ALL have great theater/sound systems, fabulous wives with awesome-paying jobs that continually want their husbands to upgrade and add to their media libraries.

[KeithM]

As for not having a wife, it's great. I'm 14 and have no wife(suprisingly) and in one year I managed to get a system better than the movie theater out of paper route money(1500 a year). I can't wait until I can get a 40hour/week job this summer :twisted: .

[Glen B]

Way to go Keith. :T That's exactly how I got started and at about the same age too. I inherited my paper route from a friend and used the earnings to purchase records (HT did not exist in those days) and parts for DIY amp and speaker projects.

[eddiem67]

aww yes, flashing back to my first Yamaha receiver...I think it was a RX300, taking it home on the bus, since I couldnt even drive yet.

Now I can't wait for whats UPS is going to bring today!!!!! Hopefully my new Velodyne Sub.

[Jeff]

In 1976 I was 14. It was that year I spent a little over $650 on a receiver (Sansui G-5000) and a pair of speakers (Acoustic V's). They gave me the speaker wire free! That money came from my paper route as well. My net income was about $15.00 per week. I had 33 daily's and a little over 50 Sunday customers.

I still run my Sansui on a regular as it sits in my living room connected to my Phase Tech Teatro 11.5 power towers.

I gave the speakers to my x-wife. :rofl:

There's no way my wife would have allowed me my B&W N802's or HTM1 center speaker which I purchased last year about this time. At the moment I'm gearing up for my next series of purchases!

I don't see the addiction getting easier. Classe amps, Lexicon HT pre/pro, Benchmark DAC1, all balanced interconnects....excuse me, I think I need lay down now.

Ended up getting a Paradigm Servo-15 instead :T

[NMyTree]

Hi. My name is Tony and I can't stop buying stuff, either.

Crowd: " Hi Tony."

It's been exactly 18 hours and 29 minutes, since my last purchase. I bought myself a second pair of Wharfedale Opus 2 (this time in Rosewood gloss) speakers, for my home office.

Crowd:[starts clapping] " Good job Tony! Eighteen and a half hours is a good start!" Stick with it, man! "

Thank you.

It all started when I was just a little kid. I fell in love with music and I never stopped loving music. I still remember the first album I heard.........

[while telling story, starts to formulate budgeting and savings plan for the next several months to save up for MCIntosh C2200 Pre Amp and McIntosh MC402 amp]

:B

[Azeke]

:laughat: :roflmao:

[cobbpa]

I'm 20, in college, work 3 months out of the year, and just bought a car. And home speakers. And a tv. And an iPod. And a sub! And power tools for speaker building. And am planning a receiver. And more speakers. And a dvd player. And I eat at nice restaurants.

And to think: I'm going to minor in finance.

[wkhanna]

And to think: I'm going to minor in finance.

Well, considering your current spending habits, it’s a much better choice than Art History!!!

[Jeff]

HT addict, I've had my Servo-15 for several years now. I've never had it turned up more than half way. You made a wise purchase!
