Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs

My analog setup is roughly 250% of my speakers and cables.  I do not subscribe to any theory other than the weakest link in the chain Jmcgrogan mentions.  My speakers are Thiel CS6 which happened to be priced reasonable all things high end considered.  

Inna, your rationale makes sense to me, especially the table and arm importance.  For me, the most difficult choices are analog front end and especially speakers.  I believe my dealer did me a favor years ago with my entry into analog getting me into the Basis line of tables.  I have since moved up the ladder with Basis and can't imagine why I would switch.  Also, I have always been a fan of Thiel speakers since I heard the 3.6 way back when, I think the mid 90"s.  I have tried /owned other speakers but once you get so accustomed to a sound it is engrained in the head.  

I will in all likelihood  always have Basis and Thiels at the front and back end and everything in the middle is up for grabs.  I am also getting too damn old to be moving 100+lb amps around so I am hoping great things start coming in smaller packages!
