I think that this question is a question of pride rather than addiction. To answer a question like this I will tell you I saved $50 here $200 there to upgrade a phono cartridge or perhaps a interconcect maybe a powercord. Maybe I charged a new preamp on a visa. Sometimes my family life suffered from my addiction to this hobby, you know kids need new shoes, dance lessons, baseball fees, oh ya the one my wife always says we need food. But I alway found ways to further this addiction of audio. I guess that why I will not tell how much I have spent. But I will tell you for what I have spent I have reeped many hours of enjoyment. As everbody knows the quest for building a system that suits their audio needs. The answer is not how much you have spent but what you have done without to get your system. I will end by saying my family is not proud of my addiction of audio. David
How many weeks of income did your sys. cost?
How many weeks of after-tax income did your system cost? ie If your income is 100,000 per yr. and your system cost 25000 at street prices, than you spent 12 weeks paying for your system. Income is relative and I was wondering what the average audiophile spends in terms of weeks of income on his system. Mine is 12 weeks.
