Impulsive audio purchase

While browsing the "new today" offerings I came across 2 LP's I've always admired. before I knew what was happening my brainstem took over and I made a deal to purchase them. Afterwards reality set in and I realized I don't own a turntable and haven't for 20 years, I don't own a pre-amp, and my audio stand can't fit any more equipment. Am I insane or are ther others who have made a similarly impulsive decision? If you have did you later regret it? [ps-anyone got any suggestions on how I can explain this to my wife?

Noonen:...... You are what we call. WAAAAY beyond help.I could understand, say If you had the reg. cd,but bought the MoFi cd. Must have been one great price.Reminds me of the line from a Woody Allen movie:.....Two old ladies coming out of a restaurant;one remarks, to the other,how bad the food was,the other agrees,and adds,"and such small portions". I'm sure your wife loves you;a guy with such honesty. Just resell them to another guy with no TT,should be easy!!

watch your mouth Avguygeorge! I recently catalogued my CD collection and found I have two MoFi CDs that are identical (and I don't like either one!) Noonen, you obviously have a strong subconscious desire to return to the womb. Just buy a turntable....Your friend Sigmund

The fact that we have gone so far to read, and then even write or reply to these posts says it all. Fear not Noonen, I believe you are in good company.

Been there Noonen. I've got several duplicates of CDs some were bought intentionally, some not. But last summer I had a brief fling with LPs (again) and acquired a LOT of them. It was painful to get rid of them, but I ended up keeping and framing five because of the great cover art. I think we're all various degrees of hopeless. Cheer-up, it could have been a $5K amp.
