How much does your system retail for?

$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

~ $28k retail. Paid ~ $16k. Includes vinyl front end, transport/DAC, tubed pre- and power amps, speakers, all cabling, stand, after-market power cords, two 20-amp dedicated circuits and audio-nerd receptacles.

Don't do Home Theater, yet. Thank goodness; one obsession is enough...thank you very much.

If we equate points with US dollars, my current audio system was more than my IQ and less than my combined SAT scores, allowing for ensuing depreciation in all the variables mentioned.... And no, my current system is not an off-brand boombox or clock radio - thanks for assuming, though.

A paltry $3K, but I love it.

After showing hidden records in Palm, $64,546. The hiding records again from snoopy wife. Isn't it amazing how many people worry about wife? Don't they spend money on nails, hair, jewelry, clothes, etc. In any event, would love for someone to compute average cost per poster. Would also be interested in system breakdown.

I would bet that by the time you got it all added up, the numbers for some people's systems would have changed quite a bit. I know that mine increased to $190,020 with the addition of the Odyssee 1.4XL Motion Simulator for home theater, MSRP $25K.
