How much does your system retail for?


$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

I like the sound so much, that I can't find pieces to upgrade! I would goto a hifi shop and hear $30,000 systems, and I still like mine better.

I sometimes sleep infront of it - enjoying near field lestening.

I do have more expensive gears, but this set-up is enjoyable to me. If you are choosy, you can enjoy good sound for peanuts.

$55

I got a good sounding sony cd player, and AKG k-300 haedphones, and the sound is pretty darn good !
No room acoustics to worry about, so it sounds like a concert stage - in my ear.

I am planning on getting a sony MP3 - add convenients of accessing my library in a second.

And I am adding a headphone amp - Class A for $140. This will further enhance the sound - further extension on the buttom.

Anyone without a proper room acoustics should consider getting a good headphones - will reward.
Askat1988,

You know about the ill effects of loud headphone listening have on the hearing?

Let's all be careful so we can enjoy this glorious hobby 'til end days...

My system adds upto the grand total of > $500.
The reason I don't upgrade is the $30,000 system at the hifi shop I goto is not much better.

Mine does 90% of that at least !

If buy used and are patient and do research, you can get good sounds for peanuts - if we get to know the good mid-fi offerings, we can give them to our kids, and our parents (and loved ones) - let them in on this exciting hobby.
