Audiophile frame of mind


It amazes me how I can justify my audio purchases and don't think much about them with something costing several thousand dollars.  I know this goes with any hobby but I had a funny thought over the weekend.  The last OEM part of my system that I have been considering an upgrade is power cables.  I only have a couple random low end audioquest cables that I got as part of purchases several years ago.  Shunyata recently launched two new lines, Gamma and Theta.  I was thinking about the Gamma and to start with my monoblocks for the first 2 cables of a system that needs 6 total.  It would cost about $1300 for those 2.  That is the same cost of a nice Weber stainless steel grill with a side burner.  I couldn't go forward with getting an official quote on the cables.  Looks like I will be grilling in style this summer!

Get a Traeger series 22 or 34 smoker (which you can also grill on), and you will have a whole new hobby.....and for about $700. I bought mine 2 years ago, and should have done it years earlier. I have a ton of fun learning about smoking techniques, different cuts of meats, rubs, sauces, and in the end a lot of amazing food to share with friends and family. AAAAND you'll still have money left over to get one upgraded power cable.
