How much does your system retail for?

The day before KATRINA...$38,000 in gear, $20,000 in media.
The day after KATRINA...$0.00 in gear, $0.00 in media.
2 years later...$45,000 in gear, @ $10,000 in media.

Wow, Cajunpepe, that's awful. Were you able to collect on an insurance claim for any of your equipment or media? Hope your new system is making you happy.

Wow Cajun, that is horrible you were wiped out in Katrina. A year ago a small plane hit my building and though we had some water damage and had to move out for a month, luckily my gear and LP's were spared. (and I had just gotten new speakers I waited a year to be delivered) I had to keep reminding my freaked out girlfriend that we were incredibly lucky and the people in Katrina were the ones who had truly suffered.

I'm glad you have a new system up and running, that probably is better than your previous one. I'm sure many of your neighbors will never get back to that level of functionality in their lives, which is sad.

Less than it used to. But, given the room, media and current equipment, more than I'll discuss.

So far very close to $20K and still not complete yet. Missing here and there.

More than $23K. Paid around $10K. Wife says I'm done. I think I need a new Origin Live DC Motor Kit upgrade for my turntable......
