well, if the 19" TV still works and you don't use it that much, spend it on headphones and happily listen away!

But if you really watch alot of TV and think you need a new 26" LCD, hold off on any further purchases for a while..

Thanks ought to be given.

Suppose you bought a new TV... and then you take it home and the picture is just OK...

Then you realize you need a new DVD player - $200 or so
Then you need a HD box (assuming you do not have on already) - $9 / month
Then you need those new cables - like HDMI - $50+ per output
Then you need an upgraded surge protector - $99
Incidentals - $100

Man, Head-fi stinks when you trying to kick the habit but in light of other hobbies/habits head-fi saved you $450+

Your welcome.

TVs get cheaper all the time.

You can get one for less probably around end of the year.

Congrats on the new acquisistions.

Add to that, you then realize that you need SPEAKERS! $$$$$$
Wheres the fun in watching movies without surround sound and big boom?

Sansa e270 + PA2v2, nice!
Im thinking of gettin the same combo too.

Everyone tells me not to spend my money on audio gear, but when you want something better than the current, you just gotta go get it for that sound quality.

Really what you need to do is work 80 hours per week and sell all your non-audio belongings, rent out a storage unit, and begin to live in there. From there, building a tower of power is easy. Good luck!

Just wait until you discover the world of IC's and Power Cords. THEN, you'll be putting off getting a CAR or a HOME for your audio purchases. I'm thinking that one measure of someone's involvement in Head-Fi is the importance of the things they PUT OFF buying because they're spending their money on audio items. At this point, you're getting off easy - that it's just a TV you're putting off buying. But in any case, we're glad to be of help. And you can be confident that we'll still be here for you the next time a strange urge to buy something other than audio gear comes over you.

Indeed. In my expert opinion, the best advice for a new member is to purchase K1000's for home use and UE-10 Pro's for portable use. It's cheaper in the long run.

It's wonderful to share your guilt. It's the American thing to do.

On Friday, we'll be having a funeral for the buzz you just killed.
