What percentage do you spend on each component?


I think I remember a similar thread here but I couldn't find it. Just curious to see how others have allocated funds toward their system. What percentage of your total system cost have you spent on each component (based on new prices).

Me:

Front End (CDP) 27%
Preamp 0% (None)
Amplification 40%
Speakers 24%
Cables 9%

Well with me, since my system seems to be well balanced, I cannot determine exactly how much I have spent on each component. But if I were to give you a wild estimate, here's how I think my system would break down:

Speaker System = 20%
Power Amplifier = 10%
Preamplifier = 23%
Tuner = 10%
CD Players (I have two of them, a Pioneer Elite DV-37 and a JVC XL-M509TN) = 25%
Turntable/Cartridge System = 8%
Cables (both the interconnnects and speaker cables) = 6%

Of course, it wasn't planned that way. But that was the way things sort of fell in place.
