How much does your system retail for?

$10,500 if retail $6200 out of pocket to make all the mistakes I have made before I learned so much here.

$59,000 w/2nd mcintosh pre-amp and poweramps thiel 7.2's(too heavy to move) still in boxes.just got back into vinyls-start the meter again.

$675 New! (Price of CDs and computer are excluded)

Equipment consists of:

Source: Monkey's Audio playing back via Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 soundcard

Amp: a T-Amp running on Wall Wart (SLA Battery and charger upgrade should not be too far into the future.. then next comes the upgrade caps and connectors of the T-Amp)

Speaker: A pair of Omega Super 3 (I see a small musical sub in my Crystal Ball and maybe a DIY tweeter addon running from my spare T-Amp)

I think this is one of the cheapest system on audiogon (at least for now!)

What your system retails for and what you pay are very different I hope. Thank goodness you can buy used on Agon. I would have to guess its entirely too personal to reveal what you spend but high end seems to have price points just like everything else. $1,000 $5,000 $10,000. There is no magic number I would venture to guess that most sane Agoners spend about $5-10,000 for their primary system going by the prices charged at retail, otherwise pick a number. $2,000 CD/TT 2-5K for amps similar numbers for speakers all new full priced.Nah make that $15-20k total for the "audiophile" $1,000 for the newbie.

$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.
