Who else here is frugal?


If I had to describe myself as an audiophile in one word, I'd like it to be frugal. Iconoclast may also be right, but if I'm different it may be due to being frugal.  There used to be a TV show called The Frugal Gourmet. To paraphrase him, the food he cooked wasn't necessarily cheap, but he'd get as much value as he could out of what he was doing.


Being an iconoclast doesn't hurt either. Listening for yourself and buying what you like, regardless of what reviewers say and how expensive something is also points us towards this.


What about you? Do you feel better saving money than spending it? Then tell us about yourself. :)

I find it really annoying reading about a $54,000.00 amplifier (that's right, 54 grand) in stereophile magazine'

Why would that annoy you do alll expensive things you find annoying?

 Some expensive things are worth the money. Some aren't. It only requires the intelligence to make the distinction."

Value is subjective not objective so you're apparently superior intelligence won't help you in this argument, claim, and assertion.
