Thought some of you might find this amusing:
Washington Post -- http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/art...2001Jun12.html
"The cables alone -- just the wires that connect the various components -- set him back a little more than the price of a new Volkswagen Jetta."
You know you've got a problem when the reporter uses the price of a car as a standard unit of measurement. The article is a pretty interesting discussion of the high-end audio fascination.

Heh, he reminds me of a friend of mine in Holland. I emailed a link to the article to him. I wonder what he'll think...

It’s all relative. Which is more ridiculous: someone who makes $40,000 per year spending $2,000 on a HT system or someone who makes $2,000,000 a year spending $40,000 on a system?
IMO, if an expensive system makes someone happy and they can afford it (heck even if they can’t), who cares? It’s their life and their money.
