What time do you wear?

i realize that there are collectors and curiosity exists.

perhaps someone can enlighten me as to the reason for asking this question.

by the way, my inquiry applies to many other threads, but i'll try to be relevant and not bring up the "kitchen sink".

hi bombaywalla:

thanks for your insightful reply.

if i understand what you are suggesting, there may be a correlation between expensive audio gear and an appreciation of the finer "things" in life among audiophiles.

conspicuous consumption rules--for some people. any expensive item will do.
