How many weeks of income did your sys. cost?

about 6 months. More than the engagement ring. Which, btw I just got back. Maybe I had things reversed?

Anyway, I still love my system!

Jfrech, you don't have things reversed, you have your priorities in order, IMO. The problem with the engagement ring are the 'hidden costs'. The sticker price is nothing compared to the actual price.

My system, roughly 5-6 months.

Congratulations, Sdcampbell! Very well expressed. I see this equipment thing in terms of how much music I can get for less than is "supposed". The silver plated copper, teflon insulated wire that I use sells for 65 cents a foot in the surplus market. A friend of mine is using some and told me it's easily blowing away his $14/ft Kimber 8TC. Amen to that.

You sounded my sentiments too, Sd. Maybe we sjould let this one die quietly....

I wonder what the top Billionaires setups are? Do they shell out the big bucks without a clue, with a clue, or are happy with a circuit city rig? Anybody know?
