How do you know if you spend that much money or buy anything different, it will sound better in your room? Your room isn’t ideal so I would caution any new purchases. You have to start with the room, a lousy room, you can’t expect much no matter what you spend
$100K system build - % breakdown of spend
I know there are several such breakdowns all over the web, but each different in one way or another. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to lend thoughts here.
Assuming $100K to build a system (indifferent between new/used) with equal time spent and enjoyment from streaming and vinyl (for now leaving out other digital and other analog), does the following ballpark seem reasonable? If you’d bump something up, what would you bump down?
Speakers - $30K
Subs - $5K
Amp(s) - $20K
Preamp - $10K
TT, cartridge, arm, phono preamp - $10K
DAC - $5K
Streamer - $5K
Cables, Interconnects, Power Cords, Power Cond/Regen - $10K
Isolation Products, room treatments and system rack(s) - $5K
Leaving out for now fuses, contact enhancers and the like.
Thanks again for any thoughts.
