New speakers or new car?


ever notice it’s easier to spend $50,000 on speakers than $50,000 on a new car? Why is that. Is it because my living room is not big enough for a car?

Seriously, I need a new car. So maybe I need to come to terms with that and somehow find a way for it to be easier to spend a lot of money on a new car. Maybe it’s because a speaker doesn’t come with annual recurring costs like insurance and all the gasoline or electricity you gotta put into it.

Or maybe I just do both.

I've seen audio gear in estate sales at ridiculously low prices. Sadly, executors, appraisers and beneficiaries have no idea what the stuff is. And then when you have multiple beneficiaries sharing an estate where everything has to be appraised, which is only a benefit to the appraisers and the attorney and accountants. this serves to further degrade the value of audio gear.

One goal I have is to make it as easy as possible to deal with my estate. Doesn't mean everybody's gonna be happy, especially the attorneys.

Maybe I'll draft an estate planning guide for audiophiles.

When my daughter was in town and looked at my rig, she said, you need to leave me instructions on what to do with all this stuff after you’re not here. 
 

At this point, while I don’t have $50,000 speakers. I have more in my system than in my car. My system goes on every day while I use my car three or four days a month. 

I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted.
