Hi
I was In My Local Hi Fi Shop. Richer Sounds The guys were praising the new About to be released In The UK "Cambridge Edge Amplifier". Salesman were saying its a very impressive piece of equipment. How They Never afford to buy one.
On My Bus ride Home. This had me thinking. Lets Run run through the most expensive things your ever buy in your life. For the ordinary working guy it be a mortgage on a house, Second thing would be maybe a new car.
You would happily go through the new car options and happily buy a new medium sized car. What would you happily pay?
What Happen Boys and girls. if you did not drive never had any interest in driving never owned a car. You happily spend if you did drive, a few thousand dollars in my case Pounds on a new car
So If you did not drive. what so wrong about spending £7000 ($9211.30) on your Amp? Imagine you only kept your car 3 years and resold it. (to get the best resale value back as Some people do here)
Why does the thought of spending 8 grand on a car appeal to us but scares the life out of us for a bit of HI Fi
Is it something to do with this side of the coin
There been many times in my life , where I bought some Hi Fi gear or similar luxury goods and beat myself up mentally black and blue about spending that mount. We are not even talking about Telephone number type amounts.
When you get it home in its box the best bit do you agree, is when its still NEW in its box sealed up, and that initial feeling, on getting the knife' to slit down the tape and open the box. Because its new and new paid out all that money. You have to justify to yourself the monies you laid out is all worth it, and tell your self its the best bit of gear on the initial switch on you ever heard agreed?
Anyone hear what i am asking am i right or am i thinking to far out the box.
