Which cost more: your system or your car?

It used to be my system.

Then I came across the Rega Isis/Osiris, now the car's purchase price was more than this.

A more pertinent question would be:

What cost more your system or your music collection?

Hi Marty,

I think my use of "pertinent" was aimed at people actually listening to music on their systems rather than having it as status symbol, much like a Mercedez car on the drive.

I agree that the comparison between system cost and cost of record/CD collection is a more interesting topic.

Myself personally, my music collection (CD's) would be just behind the cost of the sytem, but if I cheated and added in the 1200 plus vinyl albums stored in the loft, then the whole music collection would cost twice that of the system.

It is all interesting stuff, we can then form our own opinions (which will be totally wrong) of the actions of others (based on their answers).

Best regards

James

"Outlier: The cartridge on my turntable costs more than my car ;-)"

Excellent.

I have just remembered, at one point my system cost more than I paid for my house, although not in the same time period, house bought 12 years ago, system in 2008 cost more than the purchase price of the house.

It just goes to show how crazy we can be with our music systems. No wonder other people think we are all mad. LOL
