BUI - Guilty

OK, how many of us are guilty of buying under the influence?

My story:

I took last Friday off and was listening to some music after partaking of a newly legal substance.  I was thinking how my system would sound with a quality tube preamp.  Thinking turned to surfing, turned to an auction ending in a few minutes.  So with about 10 seconds left, I threw in a bid a bid as a lark and wound up winning at a super reasonable price.

Guilty, i'm now the proud owner of a preowned, recently serviced BAT VK-30SE.  Should be here by the weekend.

So what you in for?

I think I'm going to get small before shopping for a new amp when I'm ready. It sure worked out great this time :).

As long as you did your due diligence, dispassionately evaluating and analyzing what you need and why, reading through all the reviews, searching and sifting through all the user comments, talking to a few noteworthy individuals including of course the designer/builder, then what does it matter if you quaffed down a cold one before pulling the trigger?

Or if you didn't do any of that stuff, if you buy audio with the same care as an impulse purchase standing in line at the local Safeway, well then again what does it matter if you were stoned out of your mind at the time? You weren't giving it any thought anyway. 

Me, what I'm in for is the ultimate sound quality per dollar experience. I know you don't get that by accident. So I try and avoid accidents. Drinking and buying don't mix. This is your system. This is your system on drugs. Just say no. Etc, etc.
