How much does your system retail for?

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.

If we equate points with US dollars, my current audio system was more than my IQ and less than my combined SAT scores, allowing for ensuing depreciation in all the variables mentioned.... And no, my current system is not an off-brand boombox or clock radio - thanks for assuming, though.

A paltry $3K, but I love it.
