How much does your system retail for?

$450. That's right, well under $1,000. System consists of a Technics SP-10 Mk II turntable (traded for a Rega Planar 3/RB300 that cost me $200), with a borrowed Syntec arm and a NOS Signet TK7LCa cartridge ($50). Will soon install a NOS Sonus Formula IV arm (cost $150). Speakers are B&W DM2 ($6 for the pair), can't recall if they are the "Mk II" version or the "A" version. Amplifier is an Akai M8 reel to reel ($35). This is a single ended (EL84) integrated tube amp with phono stage. Also have a NOS ADC XLM cartridge. I bought two of these for $75, sold one for $90, so the one I kept is free. Third cartridge is an Ortofon OM-30. Neither the ADC or Ortofon are compatible with the Syntec arm; both should suit the Sonus arm.

$600 used.

I like the sound so much, that I can't find pieces to upgrade! I would goto a hifi shop and hear $30,000 systems, and I still like mine better.

I sometimes sleep infront of it - enjoying near field lestening.

I do have more expensive gears, but this set-up is enjoyable to me. If you are choosy, you can enjoy good sound for peanuts.

Between 60k and 65k and loving it.

$10,500 if retail $6200 out of pocket to make all the mistakes I have made before I learned so much here.
