How much does your system retail for?

Last time I posted, I wrote my system was worth 125 Boardwalk hotels retail (and I had "paid" 40-50 hotels). I off by a factor of five - I had forgotten my Monopoly® rules. It was more like 25 hotels (assuming it costs 5 houses to buy a hotel), and I had paid 8-10.

Three years later I look at this thread and I am up to about 90 hotels (retail) and a bit over 30 hotels actually paid.

Sheesh. What am I thinking?!

$22,000 for 2 channel and another $6000 including the dual use Home Theater, pretty much locked into this for some time to come

Mine is just stupid $$$ now that I look at it...but I just need one more piece and I'll be set for a while...

More than my wife would ever guess :)

Cool site actually:

if you want to see how much you vintage gear would cost now.

You want to know why I hate people who name drop about VAC or BAT or whatever on 'gon? Take a look - it tells you how meaningless their $75,000. system is in real market terms. It's amazing how much designers have forgotten, though some things have improved.

Vintage Yamaha Integrated (1978) w/ two 3 way adjustable phono's - $600. ($1828. 2005 dollars)
Paradigm Monitor 7 v.2 Speakers w/PDR 10" Sub - $1170.
Grado Red Phono Cartridge- $120.
Spacedeck w/10" Spacearm v.1 - $3000.
Cary Rocket 808 v.1 - $2850.
JVC DVD player - $220.
Audio Experience Symphonies - $400.00
Harmonic Tech Cords - $420.
RiverCable Speaker Cords - $220.
Kenwood Tuner/Integrated - $300. in '74 ($1247. in '05)
Cart - $85.
Racketballs - $20.

So... about $12,000., depending on how you look at it... of course in reality I think I paid $5600., total, so you know, it's a Soprano-style deal.
