a few years ago, an apparent audiophile in the denver area ended up both divorced and imprisoned, based at least in part on his compulsive purchases of audio gear (and cars, rare wines, etc.). seems this fellow, an auditor for a hotel chain, embezzled millions of $$ over the years, which he used to buy an incredible array of goodies. he had so much audio and video stuff that most was in storage. his (former) wife and the audio dealers who naturally adored him believed his claims to be a trust funder whose "job" was merely something with which to keep busy. for him, i'm sure, compulsory restitution is much more hurtful than alimony. -kelly
The "D" word...Has audio ever caused it?
This is dangerous...very, very, dangerous. Like testing your wallsocket for power with an old Monster interconnect. My question, and I do not know if I want to even find out the answer as to what happens to all my gear after the fact...is...HAS THIS AUDIO HOBBY EVER CAUSED A DIVORCE...in your experience...and if not who has the most conniving method of avoiding either (or both) the divorce or having to liquidate one's equipment. Women welcome too. NO EMAILS!
