What of your gross annual income is your system?


It's the old case of my eyes & ears wanting more than the wallet will permit. . . I realize that to the degree that music is important in your life will influence your spending on system components, tweaks and music. What % of your annual gross income would you say your system is worth? Moreover, how have you allocated your system investment (as a %) to amp, pre-amp, speakers, wires, source etc.? THanks for your input.

About 5% ... yikes what a scrooge ! Add in my vinyl and CDs and it's about 10%. Never mind the low cost I still love it, and I love even more that it's completely paid for and debt-free.
What's annual income? I think I used to have something like that before I got into this crazy hobby, but I don't remember now.
About 20% in hardware for my main rig at new prices (EVERYTHING bought used, man am I cheap), 7% in my half-assed HT, about 5% in software (better go buy some more music, quick).
