I'm lucky with the gear. I have a separate business account that I put all of the money I make from studio work and mastering in. I just got myself a new pair of B&W speakers, and next on the list either a Cranesong Ibis or a GML 8200. Unless the wife finds out how much those cost!
Thank you for the well wishes. I had to tell someone so I figured it'd be the folks here at Ultimate Metal.
