Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?

I never tell anyone how much I spent on my system, and not to mention what I invested in vinyl records. When someone ask how much my equipment cost, I just give them the model numbers and tell them to Google it to get an idea. But of course I don't say I never pay full retail for some of the pieces. I also have a folder with all my receipts and I told my wife never to look into that folder before I pass on. Then she can look into it to get an idea how much to sell it for so that she doesn't give it away cheaply.

😹😹😹

I told the Comcast cable guy I had 55k in my rig when he hooked up my new network, he ended up charging me $100 for a free visit. Never again…

I forgot get to tell you what my system is composed of. Here we go:

Amp (Mono Blocks), preamp, Phono Stage, CD player, Room Correction System, and Power Conditioner are all McIntosh.

Subwoofers are Rel Carbon Special.

Speakers are Wilson Audio Alexia.

Turn tables are Denon DP59L and VPI HW40.

Tape Decks are Studer A810, Revox B77, PR99 (MKI, MKII, and MKIII),  Otari MX5050B-2,  Tascam BR20, and Pioneer RT909.

Cassette Pleyer is Teac W-990RX.

Power cords are Audio Art Cables.

Interconnects: I have tried several high-end cables and still have a few. But I settled with my own. I built my own interconnects, both XLR and RCA. And i must say that I am very pleased with my DIY built interconnect cables.

The rare friends who are audio geeks already know what things cost, and those that aren't don't care. 

i just say….not enough….
