Worth of current system

More than my car .....

Ouch!

Well it's not something I even care about tbh, it's my hobby.

All in with tweaks, cables etc.

$22000 or so.

However in my defense if had to buy same stuff at new retail would be closer to $40,000.

So there is that to justify it.

If one needs justification....

In terms of payment, my total is 120,000$.

If I pull the trigger for top music server this year, then it can reach 150,000.

I do not change major components every year.

Once i am happy with them, I will keep them 3 years or longer.

I have got to a place that I am quite happy...... For now. 

I rotate speakers and gear somewhat so if I had to calculate all my keepers current value,  30k would cover it. 

 ~$7.5K (mostly used, in good shape).  Retail would be closer to $12K.  This does not include HT equipment I used to use for my audio, which would add ~$2.5K more, without the TV and video related boxes.  It adds up, but it's worth it.

Over the last year, cost for my new music room system  ~$22,000
Retail ~$30,000

I'm retired on a fixed income, so that's it for me - except for a new DAC or integrated amp I'm saving for.
