Haha. Telling your kid to stay away from Head-Fi is like telling him that he doesn't need to go to college. Albeit you're going to have a massive hurting of your wallet; meh, I think it's worth it :)
Sometimes I think of all the stuff I could do and all of the things I could buy if I didn't spend it all on my equipment (or what I could buy if I sold everything right now). I'd never do it but it does cross my mind sometimes.
However I'm going to be a freshman in college this summer so I'm sure me and my equipment are going to have a lot of time together :)
