An entire second system that was supposed to be just for living room casual listening but ended up being major league (with Electrocompaniet CD player, Linn LP 12 w/Lingo and Linto and vandenHul MC-1 Special, Magnum dynalab 102 tuner, and Nak CR-7 tape deck), though not as expensive as my big rig. Then an entirely separate, and third, system for HT only, that has, among other things, 2 laser disc players, a tuner, and a DVD player hooked up to it.
What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--
.......most frivilous item you've ever bought for your stereo system-- make it over $100. bucks. BTW, the "car thread" prompted me to start this one.
I'll confess. I bought a 2nd Levinson M37 transport when I already have a perfectly fine M37. I love this transport as besides having excellent sound characteristics and build quality, it allows for PERMANENT disc and track programming and will store the programs for 1,000s of discs.
I couldn't help it-- the component was beautiful, the price fair, and lust was "running high" at the time. Cheers. Craig
