Total spent on music vs equipment?

An audio audit... super.

All the gear or just two ch gear?

MSRP or actual?

I'll have to take my shoes off for this.

Over $20K gearwise, in actual cost, easy! Probably closer to $25K.

Up around $7-8K in software, non inclusive of older LPs... pop & rock from the '60s & '70s, I've no clue as to how much they're worth really is. Call it $2K.

how much would 450+ DVDs come out to? Add that in then.

... and I still need a few more items in the gear side of things. Mostly wires and an Oppo BR. then there is that 'headphone' system I'd like to investigate too.

...and the room? Add on another $10K there easily... so far.

Hey... this little adventure is getting expensive.

Crap! I bet BR discs are higher than DVDs too. Lovely.

OK. I'm sufficiently astonished.

Thanks for the reminder.

I enjoy the music with lots of different ways:
Home audio: including analogue rig and headphone setup $6k
Music and musical instruments:
Guitars, amps, pedals $2k
Records $20k
CD's $2k (always varies since they're being bought and sold on ebay)
Dowloads mostly free
Concert tickets $500 -- $1000 anually.
Jam sessions with band mostly without spending on the rehersal space, but still enjoying music.
Jam sessions with instructor near $1000 anually.

I hold my equipment dollars at $10K, I sell and buy with that ceiling, never to be exceeded. Music is over $100k and growing. Includes all types of digital media plus analog in lps, tapes (all kinds). Enjoy the music.

Music (mostly classical):

-- 600 LP's: $5K
-- 100 CD's: $1K

Total: $6K

System (take your pick as to which number to use):

-- Actual investment in current system: $13K
-- Actual investment including gains/losses on equipment sold: $18K
-- Total msrp of current system: $19K
-- Total msrp of current system, inflation adjusted: $34K

The reason for the high inflation adjusted figure is that the system includes components from each of the last 6 decades, ranging from a 1954 REL Precedent tuner to a 2008 Bryston BCD-1.

Current Equipment/Music approx $30K/$29.5K with music catching up now.
