YKYAAW when you disassembled your dad's integrated amp out of curiosity and couldn't put it back in

'Well if I knew more about the principles of circuitry or at the most basic level, what all these boards do, I might be able to put it back together'

And that's how it all started

You sound proof your room with egg boxes as you've spent all your money on gear.

As @wazzup said above, specifically: YKYAAW instead of buying that shinny new retirement auto you had researched and test driven you then decide your 14y.o. Toyota Camry w/ only 20,000 miles on it is just fine and drives like new, so you instead decide to spend that near same amount on wicked high end audio gear knowing the pleasure delivered daily is so much more rewarding, useful and fun, and you're sure of it
