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

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 :)

VPI Prime with Valhalla  tone arm wire and Lyra Delos
PSB T-2s with Clear Day double shotguns cables

Each of my two turntables (Garrard 301 and SME 10) including tonearms (Ortofon RS 309D and 10A)  and primary cartridges (Benz Micro LPSmr and EMT JSD s75) cost about the same as my speakers (Proac Response D-40r).

I don't really whether it is meaningful. I guess some would say the balance is just right and others would say I need more expensive speakers ;-).

I really like the way my system sounds now so I don't know if I am going to make any more big changes.
