The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase


This is tongue in cheek people, so let’s keep the replies light shall we?
The 5 Stages of Making a Bad Audio Purchase:

1. Denial: "My system, which before was of course totally awesome, is now totally awesomer! The sound stage isn’t just 3 dimensional any more, it is 4 dimensional. I can feel fingers sliding across guitar strings, drums are like my head is against the snare, and the bass goes 10hz lower ...."

2. Anger: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T BELIEVE MY SYSTEM WENT FROM AWESOME TO AWESOMER!!!. You obviously have a crap system, your ears are crap, you are just jealous."

3. Bargaining: "Hey, this gadget will make your already awesome system totally awesomer! 60% of MFR list is a great deal for it! That’s 40% off and you don’t even have to pay tax. I am only selling it because I am upgrading to the even awesomer version 2. My loss is your gain."

4. Depression: "I can’t believe I spent $5,000 on this thing ....."

5. Acceptance: "Sure, 75% off list is fair."

"Here in Washington we have some sweet green bud that will get you there in one step: inhale."

I'm with "Miller" on this one.  I find it quite humorous and extremely hypocritical that individuals who have a glass or two of wine or a couple of cocktails each evening "to relax and take the edge off", are the same people who call individuals that partake of a little Cannabis each evening druggies, potheads, or burnouts.  

The last research I read, there is no record of a single person who has ever died from Cannabis overdose, had cirrhosis of the liver due to Cannabis use, undergone crippling or deadly Delirium Tremens withdrawals after stopping Cannabis use, nor become physically addicted to Cannabis.  You could say the same about alcohol....oh wait, no you can't.  But when Forum Members commented on their favorite "musical enhancement" preferences, the only reply that gets a "snarky" response is the one that mentions Cannabis use.  It must be hard to breathe when your nose is that far up in the air.

To coin an old phrase, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em."
