Where do you put your money?


I got thinking it would be nice to see how audiogoners prioritize their money when it comes to their system. Not in dollars, but in percentages.

Mine goes something like this:
- Room construction including acoustic treatments: 43%
- Music: 33%
- Audio equipment: 24%

I realize this is a site that exists to sell equipment so the emphasis is on that but I am curious to know you better.

As a percent of income is an interesting figure. If I average my income over the last ten years (relatively stable) then it is 100%. So the total cost of my system equals my average annual income.
Interesting question. I hadn’t calculated it recently.

System 80%
Recordings 20% (if I was doing this starting now… I would only have a Qobuz subscription, $19.95 / month, no physical media)

Breaking down system only:

Speakers 23%
Music Server 16%
Preamp 12%
Phono Stage 12%
Turn Table / Cartridge 10%
DAC 12%
Amp 16%
