Should we have an Audiophiles Anonymous


Alcoholics, gamblers, drug useres, why not us?. You've heard it expressed often enough, audiophiles have a sickness, well lets do something about it. I'm a physician and let me tell you, the signs are all there, the constant anxiety and self doubt, the sweats before the next purchase, the all too brief relief of symptoms with each new hit, shorter each time. All unmistakable to the trained eye, the promises to the wife, the pitiful attempts to hide a new purchase, the tears and recriminations when you're found out and brother are you always found out. How do women always now?
We need help, we deserve help, all we need is a program and here is the clincher, I'm sure there will be Federal funding in it, think of the system you could buy with that. No we must'nt weaken, it's been 10 days since my last purchase and that was only a little phono stage, hardly anything really, it does'nt really count, does it?

Please be careful about spreading this spurious notion that audiophilia is an addiction, or worse yet a disease. I have managed to convince my wife that I suffer from a disability, and I am currently in the process of filing a claim for benefits under the Americans With Disabilities Act. My audio disability prevents me from securing meaningful employment (one can't work AND listen to your audio system 12-14 hours a day), so I believe I am entitled to federal assistance.
