Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs

My speakers I've purchased $1600 used Aerial 10t
My main deck is Empire 698 with AudioTechica 5001 arm/Shelter 501 cartridge is approximately $900

My calculations were based on MSRP prices.

Though I would not say that I subscribe to the Linn philosophy, I believe there is much more to a good audio system than just a pair of speakers.

I believe that ALL components matter.
The " a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link" mentality. 

I was just throwing it out there , i was considering msrp .I often wonder when i see some of these killer anologue setups what is down stream .. I consider my setup no slouch but one mans floor is anothers ceiling .. My vpi classic 1 w/10" and a benz with cables sounds pretty sweet through my az adagios az ref cable  👍 Most of the time my sunfire gathers dust .. 

As for the linn principle , well I believe spkrs first .But as a musician i can say i would choose guitar then amp then pa .. Thats a whole another addition , thanks gosh i dont have 20+ turntables too lol

Seems as if I'm in the minority here. I never really heard of the Linn philosophy but my TT and cartridge is 60% and speakers/cables 40% of overall costs (msrp).  Guess it's time for some better speakers :)
