What is your comfort level?

Can't say how or why, but while perusing the Classifieds I've unconsciously set limits on how much components, new or used, can reasonably cost in my home system. The limits seem built-in. Although units over my limits are often desireable, because they're beyond what I'd consider actually spending, I give them no more than passing interest. Have I found my comfort level? Thankfully the used market on the Net has got me into some stuff I'd never have afforded new. FWIW then, here are my limits:

Preamp - $1,000
Power Amp - $1,250
CD Player - $1,500
Speakers - $2,000
Pair of Interconnects - $100
Digital cable - $150

Do you have limits? What is your comfort level?

My $1500-per-component limit turned into $1500-per-upgrade... with just one trip, so far, into the territory Uru975 mentions.

You have to set limits, I think. They make it much easier to see the difference between something you want and something you need. ( OK, maybe that should be " ...and something you really, really want." )
