I have a confession to make

I have an addiction, and I have to stop. I don't know if it is upgradeitis, or audiophileism. But I suddenly feel real bad. My wife who is the most wonderfull person in the world is even becoming concerned.
It all started one day looking for some speakers for my very modest home theatre set up in my living room. I wanted to be able to enjoy music also. Low end Sony CD player you know. I was using these God awful Fischer speakers with 15" woofers.
Well, that was about 5 years ago. Now $40,000.00 later, I have a dedicated HT room and A dedicated Tube based listening room. I don't make this kind of money to be doing this. What the hell is my problem ? The Vpi record washing machine was the last straw for my wife. "$500 to wash a record? You have a serious problem". She is right,what the hell am I doing? But I continue to look at what is for sale. What would be better than what I have?
Please I beg all of you, If you receive a email from me wanting to buy your product, please delete my email. If you see any of my products for sale, please don't make an offer. I need friggin help here man.
I have to realize that there can always be better than what I have. Just enjoy what the heck I have and be done with it. Masn this is one sick addiction.

You know, I was looking through numerous auctions and advertisements yesterday and came across the very product you need, only $799.00....and the great thing is, if you put several of them inline the benefits are cumulative. You are lucky man, real lucky! To have the cure for what ails you so readily available is a true blessing.

I love equipment as much as the next guy, The thing that keeps me under control is the thought of divorce. What's the point of having great gear if your living under a truck. (By the time my wife got through with me that's where I would end up)

Audiophilia is a highly contageous disease as classified by the CDC (Center for Disease Control - more well spent tax dollars). You may want to seek help, but by all means do not spend time with others interested in music, stereo, or home theaters, as they could easily be infected by you. Their spouses will despise you for inflicting their loved one, and they are likely to ban together with your spouse and begin an onslaught of ridicules in an attempt to rid all of you from the disease. To my knowledge, this form of treatment has never worked and can often make things worse. The important thing is that you recognize the disease and decide for yourself if treatment is necessary.
