Hi,

I am augmented5th and I am a gear porn addict.
I like to oogle at photos of synths and workstations, ancient vintage or new, as well as controllers, external sound cards, groove boxes and pads, and even Digital DJ consoles and mixers, for stretches of time. I save the pictures and organize them in HTML galleries on my own offline website.
My best sources for oogling have been
sequencer.de
vintagesynth.com
synthmuseum.com
synthtopia.com
and synthmania.com

If you know other great sites for gear porn let me know about them. If you're also a gear porn addict, let me hear about it.

Hello augmented 5th

I am a recovering gear porn addict, 44 days clean of gear porn. I'm starting to feel I can start my life anew without the constant need to look at magazines or internet ads for new gear that I couldn't possibly use. And now I only have the plug-ins I have purchased, no demos and have thrown out all my old Musician's Friend & Sam Ash product catalogs and I've never felt... better...

*gulp, sob*

Oh, I'm so ashamed, who do I think I'm kidding? I can't go 5 minutes without investigating new music gear or checking out music magazines... I've got Musician's Friends catalogs stashed all over my house dating back to 1992... I've got 350 demo plug-ins on my DAW and I don't even use half of them...

My name is Deb and I'm *sniff* a gearaholic!

True. That's actually where I found the term "gear porn" coined by Moogular.

nope, a completely different addiction altogether... take it from someone who's been there & knows the difference...

no, don't look at me, I'm a... monster!

I am, but honestly these days it's mostly drooling over gear made of wood and steel strings than software...
