members and their systems


for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers..       they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different.           what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?       
  i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?       do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

simao,

"...being a teacher (like me)..."

Hats off to you. What kind of the teacher are you, if it is not too much to ask?
The problem is that the gear you have is only as good as the next piece you hear that outperforms it and when you hear that next level in your system that old piece goes by the wayside but you do not want to get rid of a really good piece because it will work better in some instances than the new(better) one in some circumstances it is all so system dependent.
Buy used. People will think you’re rich. I wouldn’t even tell my friends how much my used gear is. They would think I’m nuts. My family and I don’t eat out. I quit golf. Have a house below my means and I quit yayo
when I was 21. Now, I’ve got my youngest who plays hockey( money suck) and oldest in college. I might sell it all and I won’t care. I’ll still love music and will always appreciate great systems.
