How much does your system retail for?

$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

11k not including the 125K for the house addition to really let the system open up and have a nice view while listening. I love it! Great thread to use to feel better at least until you get past 200K

Roughly $575.00 I win!!!

Technics Linear tracking TT with new Grado Silver cart. $200.00 ebay/needledoctor
Sumiko phono preamp $100.00 new
Pilot 30 watt integrated tube amp $100.00 off ebay, 40 years old. Came with telefunken tubes.
Cables $100.00 new
Model Seventeen Speakers $75.00 new

I would be waaaay to guilty if I spent more than say.. $10,000 on any audio setup regardless of disposable income. Plus I think I might feel like I was being sold snake oil at a certain price point. But, I'm a bargain shopper, i.e. Cheap.

~$7,000. i am a small fry on this website.

i'm actually pretty shocked although i'm happy to report that each time the retail price of my system went up the improvement was dramatic. what's even worse is that now that i have what i would call a legitimate mid-fi system i know it's pretty far from what an even more expensive one could do.

yes, my friends jaws drop when i tell them its 7k. i know it could easily grow to double that in a few years when i get into my 30's.
