“You have a secret bank account that your significant other doesn’t know about.” –MarkPhd
“When you cannot possibly calculate how much you have spent on audio in your lifetime. You also have forgotten how many amps, preamps, digital, and cables you have owned in your lifetime. The all sort of blur after a bit. You can remember most of them, but it would take more effort than you can justify to list them all out.” –tok20000
