Are these guys are obsessed, or what

Have a look at our Japanese mates, they are obsessed, no wonder they have the highest suicide rate. Look at the links pages 1 to 26, below is just one of their home made dacs. Wonder how some of them sound, hell of a lot of work gone into some of them,

I would wager that the kind of person that just goes for it and produces the kind of totally over the top designs that appear in Japanese DIY magazines is far less likely to commit suicide than one that umms and arrghs over illusionary differences between bits of wire or one that constantly needs ones choices validated by others. BTW, you find much higher suicide rates in parts of Europe than you do in Japan.

Those Japanese links contain a lot of info (Google translation) - not bad...

Suicide rates:

Many countries/regions do not provide the stats, though.

No wonder if you consider the country was completely destroyed by the Tartars in the 13th century, occupied by the Turcs for 150 years in the 16th-17th century, was torn in 3 parts for 300 years, lost more than 2/3 of its territory and later occupied by the Russians for 40 years in the 20th century, and lost all wars through its history . Since the political system changed to democracy in 1989, the suicidal rate is decreasing, though it is still high. It's a wonder why audiophiles over here are among the most obsessed...

I gather the Finns, supposedly your distant cousins, also have a high suicide rate.
