Ref-75-SE delivered ...
Wolf_garcia: The reason things cost what they do is so you can buy one when you want. If a Ref75 SE cost $1000, they would be back ordered for years.David12: It's true that many are retiring and have reduced incomes but how many are inheriting the... 
How to divide a budget between components
I'd allocate the same amount for each component including IC & speaker wire (as a group).X for ampX for PreampX for source (digital)X for source (analog)X for all wireX * 2 for speakersEtc.

Cary, Manley, Wavac.. Alright, who did I miss? 
Ref-75-SE delivered ...

Dunlavy SC I'v As
