How much does your system retail for?


$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

$20K in 2-channel, Another $8500 in 2-channel HT, where I retired my entry level 2-channel system. I have not sold a single piece of equipment yet. These are, after all, my children. I suspect I am probably not done yet.
Approximately $50,000 worth of two-channel equipment, which includes: Turntable set-up, CD transport, DAC, pre-amp, power amp, speakers, cables, and upgraded power cables and mains purifier. Also includes stand too.
Not including home theatre set-up as I am re-building this.
Roughly $30K for 2-channel and $12K for HT. Like Albert, the idea of trying to add up the cost of my software daunts me.

YIKES! I did a rough total of the values stated in this thread using actual amount spent, where provided, retail cost, where provided, and doing some interpolation, where necessary. I came up with about $4,625,000. This also assumes, based on a notion SDCampbell makes, that figures are not a reflection of guys stimulating their Johnsons! :-) Now, if one applies my local sales tax to that figure, the result is $381,562.50, or about 15.26 times the actual cost of my two-channel system.
~ $28k retail. Paid ~ $16k. Includes vinyl front end, transport/DAC, tubed pre- and power amps, speakers, all cabling, stand, after-market power cords, two 20-amp dedicated circuits and audio-nerd receptacles.

Don't do Home Theater, yet. Thank goodness; one obsession is enough...thank you very much.
