What would you do?


So, I sold my phono stage (Cary PH302) and the ICs I was using to upgrade to another unit. In the meantime, I used that money for another blood sucking hobby. It might be a few months before I can fund my discretionary spending budget to the appropriate level. In the meantime I am w/o music (no CD player, etc.)

Curious to know what most of you would do:

1. Buy something cheap (and cheap sounding? $250?) to tie you over

2. Go w/o until the real deal arrives

BTW, anyone in the Chicago-Detroit cooridor want to loan/rent me a phonostage & ICs for a few months?

I'd buy something used and inexpensive here on Audiogon, and then upgrade when funds were available. You might even be surprised at how little you're missing versus the higher priced units.

Music is too important to do without, even for a few months.

Tvad; you're right. I was interested in hearing what other people would do in my situation.
