List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid

Yes, the foundation of a great system is the turntable. Well, if you haven’t figured out how CDs work, it is? Once you figure it out, there’s not much of a contest. 🤗

I figured out how my CD/SACD player works, but I can’t get it to play my LP’s. Guess I’ll just throw them out. The music contained in the groove of a fair number of them is unavailable on CD, but since CD’s make LP’s obsolete I’ll just have to go without that music.

OP:

List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid

How did you proportion your system spending? You can choose to list by component name or type, and by the the price you actually paid new or used, OR by the original full retail price. Just be consistent.

Naw, when the likes of elizabeth and geoffkait show up the best one can hope for is a dead cat bounce. There comes a point where the inanity is so bad no one wants to be associated with it in any way, and so the asylum is left to the inmates.

But: people asked what use could this serve, what could we learn?

Van Halen performance contracts specified no blue M&Ms. Turns out the M&Ms were just a clever way of checking to see if the contract had actually been read. 

When people can't follow a complex line of reasoning its one thing. But when you prove the same people can't even read and comprehend well enough to follow something this simple well now that tells you something too, doesn't it? 

Or maybe this whole thread was a McGuffin. Alfred Hitchcock's term for whatever it is that serves to get the protagonists protagonizing. And yeah I know this is over your head, but maybe not everyone else's.

But consider. A perfectly nice little thread, more pleasant than most according to some, not only ruined but ruined with bullying. Trust me, elizabeth, I know I don't own this space. But do you?
