I'm currently wondering whether drunk me made a wise or brash decision by ordering $1000 headphones last night. I've been lusting after the Audeze LCD-2 for years as an endgame headphone, but figured it was too expensive so I was planning on getting a replacement for my currently worn out pair that cost around $500. Last night I just said fuck it, and bought the ones I truly wanted. Either way, looking forward to finally getting a pair of true hi-fi phones.

For a $1000 they want to make breakfast, cut the grass and go to work for me.
I'd have suggested they need to offer sexual favours too, but it's clear that the company selling them is the one who bends you over and fucks you up the arse when they take $1000 off you for a set of headphones.

My fucking boss got me sick, so now I speak like Nergal with laryngitis and my throat feels like sandpaper. At least he gave me tomorrow off. Maybe he's feeling guilty, maybe he knows I can break him in half with my bare hands. Either way, I'm grateful

Something I've been meaning to start for ages: playing Audiosurf using the final versions of the songs from the album I released last year. Just playing each song once on each mode other than Double Vision would be about 12 hours of entertainment, but some modes take several attempts to get a decent score. Then there's Audiosurf 2!

I get that audiophile-level equipment is a niche thing, but I certainly wouldn't compare this price point to being raped up the ass. Anybody who spends any time dedicated to listening to music deserves a good setup to enjoy it. Budget setups exist, but I already abandoned that route far too long ago.

The one time I splashed out this decade was when I paid NZ$1000 for a turntable. I only have about 25 records and rarely even play them, but it's been good for digitising a few of them. Plus I can try a bit of DJ scratching for my noise project sometime. Or play records backwards to find those satanic messages.
What's fucked up is some of the pieces of shit you'd get if you spend any more than that. Turntables that are all about the looks or bragging rights about how much money you wasted, but are swamped with negative reviews about their ability to actually play records.

The prices of some turntables are fucking ridiculous. I get that you want it to spin perfect, but I think a good cart and needle on a halfway decent old-school table sounds about as good as it gets. I used to clean houses for high end clients and such, and this one dude had a turntable that retails for over $10,000 USD. I laughed when I saw that he left a record on it for display, something somebody who truly values their vinyl knows just ruins it.
Anyways, loving the LCD-2s. Their warmth gives me the same feeling as it was when ive seen them live, which is great. From what ive gathered this is a good metal headphone, and I now see what they mean. I could give two shits about Slammed's trailer park mentality.

What I said wasn't said for you to give any shits about, it was said purely to wind you up, something which obviously worked given the way you reacted. If your delicate little ears feel warmer with $1000 headphones that's great and if you actually believe they make the sound of two cats fucking on a hot tin roof sound like an operatic masterpiece more power to you. Would you also like to buy some magic beans? Guaranteed you'll meet a giant.

Decompressing after busy day. On vacation for the next week. No plans between now and Thanksgiving, finally. Out of fucks. Tired of everyone's bullshit. Looking forward to ignoring calls and texts for a few days.

Ok I'll give it a go.
You're an idiot because you tried too hard to validate your purchase in the eyes of others by quoting an arbitrary figure that means little or nothing to anyone but yourself.
