While there’s the odd sign of unrestrained budget madness at times here but for the most part many here seem to value, embrace and celebrate gear that’s great generally and like many I also love good value so if it’s budget and it’s great all the better.
I have some inexpensive gear in the system and also some more expensive gear as well and the gear that I have that I appreciate the most can be from either end of that spectrum for once its playing the magic I tend to forget about most things including the cost.
I never see spending more as a plus but when I do (a bit like child birth) once the pain is gone you let that stuff go and move on to the reward. So budget good is always good and generally I take time with buying decisions and usually let sanity mostly prevail and only buy those things that I can continue to afford and unless gear makes me happy most every day I’ll rarely spend much on something at all.
A mate of mine jokes about factoring in bragging rights as a gear choice parameter but genuinely knowing that you own the most expensive system seems to provide more comfort when you are listening to your system rather than listening to your music. Music doesn’t really care about your budget.
