It's all relative to where people are at various points in life,....amounts spent are usually a factor of the 'right' set of circumstances all lining up just right to allow for higher-end purchases (those at higher price points). In retrospect, alot of money has been spent (here) on going through different revs of equipment, and particularly on power options including conditioners, cords, interconnects, etc...from many manufacturers. Doing it all over again,...I'd try to be much smarter about the spend aspect on cables and power-level gear as there were many decisions along the way that could have been done much better. Another big 'sink' has been the years I spent trying to have a killer hybrid HT and 2-channel system which I accomplished at the time however, there was alot that went over the transom to have killer HT that I wish I could have back ;-)
Then there is the money spent following the current 'popular wave' of opinions posted on various forums or 'that dealer or friend' who seemed to know so much but wound up causing a lot of money to be spent on 'that brand...' that in retrospect was pure foolishness on my part to have listened...
As for actual amount...all I can say is that WAF is not high here so I like the amnesia factor and its influence in that aspect of life coupled with someone's response earlier on the thread that everything costs about $1500 LOL!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!
