How much does your system retail for?

$5200 retail, paid about $3000 used. 73% speakers, about 1/2 of 1% for cabling. Have had thousand of dollars worth of gear stolen.

Heh I thought that Fabio said "I can't believe it's not BETTER"(well the stereo at least). sorry I could not resist.

Hey Wirehead,
At least we have a corner of our own (the "Affordable Corner", sounds like S. Tellig's column in Stereophile). But hey, remember that it's how much our system enable us to enjoy music that really matters, isn't it? I also have a small/apartment system, which partially explains the affordability of it; could you post or e-mail me privately your setup so we can do a little knowledge exchange? My system is composed of Adcom CDP/Morrison ELAD/Audiosource Amp2/NHT VT1.2/MIT T2, and I listen to mostly jazz...
To Stevemj, I am sorry to hear about what happened to your audio gear...perhaps you can use this opportunity to build that dream system that you always wanted!

What would all you guys say if I let out my secret. My system was bought on credit cards, which turned in to almost free when my chapter 7 filing was approved and discharged 4 months ago? Nothing to be proud about but it was by no means planned. The bull market (bear for me) daytrading of 99 turned me in.

Brian; my first Rx was not to post on this thread-- maybe embarassed as Kelly noted, or maybe a little paranoid? But many more expensive systems than mine are out there-- and by a LOT-- i don't feel so dumb anymore:>). $40K in main rig including wires, acoustic stuff, stands etc., another $5K in accessories like CD Recorder, cassette recorder etc. And a second system of about $10K. My DNA2 amps are in for upgrade to Rev. A as I type. There, I feel better-- thanks. Cheers. Craig
