Someone please talk me out of this

I don't regret buying anything I own, as one poster said, some spend money on trips etc....I like things that will last for years and will be enjoyed the same. Just last night, my wife actually sat down on couch and listened to music with me! My daughters later joined in...we sat there for 4 hours!...surprisingly, all it took was putting on pandora radio (gordon lightfoot station) which played endless songs from the late 60's and 70's...my wife was thrilled! Yes, it was not hi-res and all, but it sounded great and we spent time together as a family...my wife later told me that she had a great time! This made me think to myself and say all this was worth it! Yes, I would have preferred to be playing my lp's....but that would have required me to get up off couch every 20 minutes lol. 

OP, I think if you can afford it you should try both and sell what you don't want.  

The AG people may have been "Funning" us when they set the sequence of today's "Specials". Was this accidental or is there
some inside joke I tend to agree with going on here?

You can't take that cash to the grave. Go for it!

Go with your EARS get what you LOVE to listen to, as previously commented, you can't take it with you! Kids have their own sounds. I love music!
