Maybe in your ficticious example I would be nuts, but in my real life, I replaced a 15 year old refrigerator with a $499 new one, and my electric bill dropped about $40 per month. That's complete payback in about one year, which is at least as good of a return on investment as most people get from buying home insulation.
You completely panned the idea of the original poster buying a new refrigerator, saying, "Getting a new fridge is almost as silly as getting a $5K power regenerator from an audiophool shop." My point is that getting a new fridge depends on the state of his old fridge. I fail to see how overpriced audiophile power regenerators are relevant to that. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39691 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
