Worth of current system


I just did a tally of the cost of my current components.
I wonder if anybody has done the same and wants to reveal.
My total came to around $18,000
128x128rvpiano
Nearly all Mac components, purchased over last three years:

C2600 pre amp $7000
MC611 Mono Block X 2 $14,000
MP1100 Phono Preamp $7850
MT5 Turntable $5850
Croatian-made SAM Renegade TT w/ 2 Calista II tonearms $2700
MR87 Tuner $4500
MCT450 SACD/CD Transport  $3800
Nativ Streaming Server $1500
MB50 Streaming Audio Player $2000
Focal Stella Utopia EM $66,000
Shunyata Denali D6000TConditioner $4500
TOTAL approximately $119,700

Cables and interconnects and carts not included above

Yes, I'm probably a chump brand loyalist who spent too much, but I am very happy.  First system owned since my college years (kids are now grown and we are "empty-nesters" so wife gave me the green light!)


Full retail for my system: $10,400.00 approx.

What I spent: $6,800 approx.

What my wife thinks I spent: $4,000 approx.

What I could sell it for: $3,000 optimistic. 

So it goes..
I spent more then you guys did at my age, which would have been about 40 years ago for most of you.
:p
