Nuts. eh?

Yesterday, I was in a house, with another tech, on a service call, for a sony HDTV projector unit.This guys house needed some serious repair, like the garage door was seriously in need of repair, and his car was an old nissan pulsar, probably 15 years old, BUT, he had AT LEAST $20,000 in his HT system including probably 5k in speakers alone, while the house, and car was in disrepair. Now, THAT is nuts!!

Many of the items I acquire are FREE, or near it. I would NEVER pay $100. per foot for MY speaker cables, or such.16 gauge cord, or 14 for higher power systems over 150wattts/ch, works fine!

As for coming out of the dark ages, what about spending $1000.00 for a single end 2a3 tube amp with LESS than 5 watts of power, when a NICE HT receiver 100+ watts /ch,x6, can be had for under $1000.00?

To each his own.
