How much does your system retail for?

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

Hmmm... more than I thought. Or as my Swiss cousin was fond of saying - "Too much"

Main audio system - $98,490 - of course, I probably only spent 1/3 of this (God bless Audiogon).

If you add the home theatre, that's another $27,000.

Software, however - that's where the big bucks come in.

250,000 plus

My system is at $17,000 now. I guess this is humble compared do some of the hot shots here, but what scares me is the rate I've been spending on it. In July of last year, I started with a $3,500 system, and have been sqandering my hard earned cash on upgrades since then. It's worth it though, right? I'm now only pursuing upgrades on low-key power cords and such, just so my girlfriend won't notice.
