Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store


.
I am currently pretty satisfied with my system the way it is right now. I am not in the market for any new purchases right now, mainly because I don't have the discretionary income to make big changes. However, sometimes I get the urge to want to go into a hifi store just to look. Eventually I will upgrade my speakers, cd player, preamp, a new dac for sure and may give class D amps a shot...but not right now.

Is it cool to go into a store just to look around, knowing you don't have the money or immediate need for an item?

Well I look at my bank accounts n merchandise, and I don't FEEL dumb. Plus, I get to go once a month on average, to the single BEST playground in the entire universe, ON FREEEEE ROLL MONEY!!!
HOW DO I LOSE?!!! Answer?..I CANT!! WINNING!
Of course I could go get a job ..but then I would be less happy, have less cash, have to pay more $$$ to "The Man", n be more horney all the time... Hummmmmmmm..I feel Oookkayy
Avgoround,
If it's about poker, I support organized and conservative game. There are money there if you know the game. Las Vegas? Not the best spot since there are lots of pros that won't be able to categorize or grab idea on how they play certain hands... Most of the time you see folks with caliber and great strategy.
Suburban local casinos quite often have consistent players that you can recognize and fairly quickly grab idea on how to play against them and win.

If it's type of game against casino dealer, you will be broke very soon.
This website has become a sounding board for what seems like angry people venting for reasons not pertaining to audio.
In the old days these people would be banned from the site.
By allowing these types of posts I now think that Audiogon should be banned.

Seems like you are referring to the golden era of Audiogon (chuckle).

Wow .....I'm reading through the last few pages of postings on this forum and I am flipping out. You guys are all nuts ! Why don't you all just take a deep breath and relax. Put some Coltrane on your turntables, pour a nice snifter of single malt scotch, and enjoy the music. Life is too short to be going crazy over this stuff. How about some peace, love, and understanding ? It's all about the music ..... so enjoy it !
