someone help me please i am a newb

Sgunther:
-36years old
-I have 4 kids under 6 right now and working on paying off a mortgage in 5 years, that said, i think i could reasonably say~$5000 into my system seems reasonable
-i have no cable, no internet at home so when i do look for entertainment it is music or dvds. I would say 95% of h time i listen to music it is sitting in front of speakers with full attention on music, 5% background for reading/cleaning/playing with kids
-I honestly don't know how many LPs I have, i just started vinyl last winter...if i had to guess I would say ~50 that I listen to (then there is the crapload of "sing along with mitch" and big band records i picked up from my grandfather when he passed).

If you were truely a newbie, you would not even be asking or thinking about things like this. sounds as if you have been at least reading the high-end stuff for a while.

Rok2id, did you just call the man a liar?

no, just pointed out that the question / enquiry has 'audiophile' and 'high-end' written all over it.

the only newbie I have encountered on this forum is ME.
