RGAS - Rapid Gear Aquisition Syndrome

[3heads]

Uh, virtual penis comparisons....awesome, I'm in

During the last year (well, approximately, add another month, maybe two) I have bought:

a pair of Yamaha HS80M speakers
M-Audio UC-33e
Akai LPD8
Novation nio 2/4 (which I have to sell eventually, but been way too lazy)
Traktor Scratch Pro (+ the upgrade to TSP2 recently)
Traktor Kontrol X1
Allen&Heath Xone:42
Sony MDR-7506
Korg Electribe EMX-1

and all that small crap which also adds up in the end: cables, USB hub, ....

[ecube]

I told my wife that after I get my new pair of Technics 1210 mk5, I won't purchase any more gear worth more than $500 in the next 5 years. I don't think she believed me.

You JEST of the GIST of the thread.

I find it educating....as it gives the newer guys an idea of why the bit of advice is given about thinking it through in the beginning?

Else you buy a shit ton of stuff you don't want....and the selling and rebuying fuels the bargain hunting gene....and yeah....nasty circle....

Oh I know. And I'm still a sucker that buys CDs. Fucking god I could go on three vacations for what I spend on tuns in a year.

[Yep.]

..Well... I still bought more... I got a set of Pioneer HDJ-2000s coming in the mail. My Denons aren't working too great, and instead of doing what a regular person would by contacting the dealer, I just bought some HDJs for the relatively low price of $250. At least I didn't buy them from Pioneer directly, would have been at least $200 more.

I'm also going to be broker than ever. I started an Ibiza fund in my bank account where 10% of each deposit goes into a set fund for a ridiculous trip to Ibiza when I turn 21. I'm really excited for it, but I know I'm gonna have to lay of quite a few late night dominos orders.

you guys need to shop less and dj more

Other than buying TSP, an uberstand and a midifighter... i haven't bought ish for years! lol, I have my 1200's I've had since 1993 and a djm 707 I bought used two years ago when someone stole my 05 pro, a hafler amp and some minipod speakers!
