Intersting idea- I'm gonna be the other way around, 'cause most of my vinyl (est. 400 lps) was bought in the old days (I used to agonize over the $2.99 vs. $3.49 lps), I get most of my cds used, and my equipment, although mostly used, was bought recently. Best I can tell, about 1.8:1.
box to music ratio
so this is a bit of a poll i guess...I'm curious what other gonner's ratios of money spent on equipment vs. media are.
Using round numbers and some guessing I estimate I've spent something like $12k on my current system, compared to some $20+k spent on lps and cds (mostly lps). I guess I view LPs as lifetime investments and equipment as more finite, but the fact that seemingly small lp purchases of $20 hear and $30 there add up quickly is also a factor.
So my box to music (analog + digital) ratio is 0.6. What are the other ratios (probably helpful to note if analog, digi, or both)?
