What is the current retail cost of your reference system?

Current system +50k (pricing of older items as they were back then), like speakers, tuner, preamp, phono, power amp,  SACD, cables 10k, power strip - wall outlets and racks +7k. We have to accept that audio gear is not for money investment, there are some rare exceptions though, but only for pleasure feeding the soul and avoid visiting the psychiatrist. Does value represent sound quality, that is a difficult question and most likely with not a definite answer. Yesterday i was very lucky to audition a really good system comprising a Lavardin ISX integrated amplifier, Blumenhofer Tempesta 20 speakers and Norma CD player. Total retail cost 15k euros, musical pleasure way much higher than that.

I think this is probably just a curiosity question and I am always curious about peoples systems cost too so I’ll play along.

speakers- 40.5k 

integrated amp - 15,750

streamer/ 600.00

LPS- 500.00

cables- 3k

Nordost Qb8- 1850.00

rack- 1600.00

room- 15k

listening chair - 3500.00

Not trying to start a Cold War of spending . Or any sort of comparison contest. 

Some come here to upgrade or improve their sound so wouldn't it be helpful to understand the costs associated? A silver cable will not improve the sound of a $500 receiver, in fact it may hurt the sound. It is obvious to those immersed in it for years, not so much new folks testing the waters. 

Welcome to Audiogon. The average price to replace the main listening systems of our members is $30000? Just thought you would like to know.  

Seeing as I built my turntable, my speakers and my power amp, I have no idea what an equivalent commercially built set up would cost. My tuner, CD player, DAC and phono stage were all purchased in the 90’s. 
 

So for the performance I have, and the enjoyment I get from it, my out of pocket, was comparatively low.

Pretty bare bones.  Just a TT,  phono-pre, CD player, preamp, power amp(s), and speakers.  Most except the speakers and cables were picked up used.

As requested, retail replacement.

All in, right around $15k

The dedicated 20A circuits and room treatment are not included.
