Total spent on music vs equipment?

I think my software is worth more than my system. I have gone through LaserDisk and other dead formats so I try not think too much about the cost of software for any format.
That way I stay sane, HEHEHEHEHE.

wow, I'm in the minority. I started on the gear about 4 yrs ago (mostly HT then) and evolved into more music oriented.

prob only 10k in music, out 3 times that in gear

That is hard to say. I have kept 99% of my software, but turned over a lot of gear. Thanks for reminding me.

i have more invested in music than gear although its very close,im at $6.5k for gear and $7.5k for music

Easy. Gear, room, media. I never apologize for putting the vast amount of my resources into the rig and room. I wouldn't have the experience I do when listening if I'd not focused on the goal of the best musical reproduction I can afford.

I feel justified for not having spent tens of thousands on media; for $12.95/mo I have the world of music through the rig I poured my capital into.

Many are the audiophiles who have blown far too much on lousy media they never listen to, who would have a far more enjoyable experience had they put that money to work on the development of the system.
