You've got a girlfriend,keep it that way if you plan to continue purchasing recording equipment.Back in 1996,I started building my studio piece by piece then comes the let's get married part of the equation. About the same time uncle sam sends me $2500.00 back and my future recording purchases look like a given.Nope, I end up at a diamond store and walk out of there with a mere $300.00 left!!! There goes 1 more year before I can invest in my dream.Well, now it's 2002 and I'm finally where I wanted to be in 1996.Took 6 years to get the equipment that I could of purchased within two years if I stayed a bachelor a little while longer, so you've got to ask yourself are you ready for the sacrifice? My wife is truly a great woman and deserves the world but get the gear before your money turns into ours!!!Hell, if she loves ya buy her a zirconia and by yourself a adat hd24.lol I only wish............
