How much does your system retail for?

Mine adds up to about $45k. I have been involved in this hobby about 28 years- a little longer if I count the used 32w/ch Kenwood receiver I bought Sophmore year in college. I wish I had the money to put together a really good system. I wish I had invested my money in a 401k so I could retire someday. But then all my stock investments these days have appreciated less than my stereo system.

Truthfully, my sound system sounds better than ever, but in the old days there was a certain sweetness to pulling out the soldering iron with my buddies and making our own mods and upgrades with WonderCaps, wiring and connectors.

Too much.

Askat1988,

You know about the ill effects of loud headphone listening have on the hearing?

Let's all be careful so we can enjoy this glorious hobby 'til end days...

My system adds upto the grand total of > $500.
The reason I don't upgrade is the $30,000 system at the hifi shop I goto is not much better.

Mine does 90% of that at least !

If buy used and are patient and do research, you can get good sounds for peanuts - if we get to know the good mid-fi offerings, we can give them to our kids, and our parents (and loved ones) - let them in on this exciting hobby.

I stopped keeping track after 10k ..if you talk to my wife it's worth a few grand at the most ..lol

currently 2 channnel only retail is around 60000 usd ,
but since its not in USA, it should retail over 85000 usd locally in thailand.

there is a lot of upgrades needed still and i can see it reaching 100000 usd inside a year easy.
