If your whole system costs $40,000....

how much will you invest in CD player with that sum?

I have been wondering my CD section is the weakest link, its around 10% of my system cost. I wonder people who are using some $10k players how much their whole system costs roughly...... Anyone can share their experience in upgrading their CD players?

You have a 40k system and you're asking someone else how much you should spend on a cdp? Am I reading this wrong or am I missing something here?

Tpreaves,

Yes, you are right. Say for example, $4000 for cdp, $36000 for others e.g. speaker, amp, pre, cables, etc. Thats spending 10% of whole system.

Isochronism,

Great form of reply, thanks! If you are able to state individual costs would be more informative, but may taking you too much time though.
