What is your cost for each system category ?


What cost priarity do you have for each system category: Speakers, Amplifier(s), Preamplifier(s), Primary Source (CD, tuner, turntable, etc.), and cables. This will help to determine where money should be spent in developing the ideal high-end stereo system regardless of total system price. Notice that I'm limiting the source to the primary unit only. You may have spent a bundle on all of your sources, but you can only listen to one source at a time. I'll start off by providing my priarity list.
Speakers: $20,700 37%
Amplifers: $16,800 30%
Preamplifier: $3,900 7%
CD Player: $6,700 12%
Cables: $7,800 14%

I wouldn't talk too much trash there Nrchy. This thread is a cousin to your "signal" loss thread. I'll give you a blue ribbon for your well-balancedness, though.

With more system information I think a cost ratios do mean something. It is murkied by personal preference, so one has to give the ratios a range, but after that, what does it mean? That the person with a system like mine who spends 50% of their budget on cables is audio retarded is one conclusion that can be drawn. Or maybe that person stole most of their equipment, but not their speaker cables...
I took it as extro instead of intro, I'm sorry. But I didn't feel anything on my toes.

"How do you know that this is related to 'the signal loss thread?'"

Everything is okay. There's nothing for you to be concerned about.
