How do you rationalize audio upgrades?

Thought this could be a fun topic, especially after a Friday night libation, or two.

I'm going to add a turntable to my audio system. I am listening to different turntables and the amount I consider spending is increasing. $1500 max is now heading towards $2700.

What do you say to yourself to "rationalize" your decision to spend more?

I amortize over time.

You?

+1 mapman.  But really, no rationalization.  I play the game within reason and simply enjoy the discernible audible improvement.  I so consider how long I intend keeping the piece and break it into years use.

My only piece of advice is to buy the best you can once and skip the incessant small steps up.  It's certainly more cost effective.
