I can't believe how many of you have to comment about the wife, or wife approval factor. Must be an older generation thing.  Maybe the guy is not married, and maybe he doesn't have a bossy wife controlling his every penny and purchase.

Was my friend given misinformation.

@russ69 I have a friend who asks my advice and then asks all our friends for advice, then doesn't listen to any of it. I know the type!  
Ridiculous sale
Supply and demand. I see items that I sold a couple of years ago for $2,000-$2,500 go for $3,500-$4,500... Everything sells as long as someone is ready to pay.

Queen - Live Killers  
Most beautiful turntable under $5k
Another vote for Technics SL-1200G. The etched logo on the 10mm solid aluminum top does it for me every time.  
How many systems do you have?
Four. Main one in the living room, smaller one in the dining room, former main components in the bedroom and one in my office. All that in a townhouse of less than 1,000 sq ft :-)  
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
@sfseay I really don't care for MacIntosh either. I prefer PCs. McIntosh on the other hand, I love!

How much gear do you own?
4 operating systems in a two bedroom townhouse (living room, bedroom, office and dining room) plus some bits and pieces I've collected over the years that are not all hooked up. I'm saving for a bigger house next.
