Who else here is frugal?


If I had to describe myself as an audiophile in one word, I'd like it to be frugal. Iconoclast may also be right, but if I'm different it may be due to being frugal.  There used to be a TV show called The Frugal Gourmet. To paraphrase him, the food he cooked wasn't necessarily cheap, but he'd get as much value as he could out of what he was doing.


Being an iconoclast doesn't hurt either. Listening for yourself and buying what you like, regardless of what reviewers say and how expensive something is also points us towards this.


What about you? Do you feel better saving money than spending it? Then tell us about yourself. :)

There was a conflicted audiophile who was so chintzy that he played Lotto to fund a state of the art system. He died unfulfilled.  ;)

I could not shell out 90K$ for Scaena 3.2.

Thus I saved some money going for used one.

If I can get jackpot, then I may go for new one.

My frugality leads me to buy way more stuff than I need because “it’s such a good deal”.
