Well, I've ben wracking my brain to find an answer, for I am, like Sean, anything but a compulsive shopper (-;, but perhaps my two sets of spare Quads will do, which I keep fired up, but won't use, until their brethren in the listening room happily start ye olde crackle and pop game and begin to fold on me. (Getting those serviced usually takes 1-2 months) (Pace Albert, yes, sooner or later I'll end up with the big steely framed ones from Dr. Roger West!)
What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--
.......most frivilous item you've ever bought for your stereo system-- make it over $100. bucks. BTW, the "car thread" prompted me to start this one.
I'll confess. I bought a 2nd Levinson M37 transport when I already have a perfectly fine M37. I love this transport as besides having excellent sound characteristics and build quality, it allows for PERMANENT disc and track programming and will store the programs for 1,000s of discs.
I couldn't help it-- the component was beautiful, the price fair, and lust was "running high" at the time. Cheers. Craig
