What is your cost for each system category ?

What cost priarity do you have for each system category: Speakers, Amplifier(s), Preamplifier(s), Primary Source (CD, tuner, turntable, etc.), and cables. This will help to determine where money should be spent in developing the ideal high-end stereo system regardless of total system price. Notice that I'm limiting the source to the primary unit only. You may have spent a bundle on all of your sources, but you can only listen to one source at a time. I'll start off by providing my priarity list.
Speakers: $20,700 37%
Amplifers: $16,800 30%
Preamplifier: $3,900 7%
CD Player: $6,700 12%
Cables: $7,800 14%

Ohlala I was not aware that I was talking any trash, not that I have a problem with talking trash. I wouldn't mind being taken to task over it if I had done it. What are you misunderstanding about my post. My initial comments were somewhat introspective since I was surprised by the balance of costs.
How do you know that this is related to 'the signal loss thread?' Is there some joke taking place about which I am unaware? Have I somehow stepped on your toes? Do you have sensitive feet?
I thought I had only responded to an honest question, I guess I was wrong!

Hey guys, let's control our tempers! Audiogon has a reputation for having civilized conversations. I hope that I haven't stepped on anyone's toes.

LOL, it is just too funny listening to some of you guys. Amen Warrenh, it really is that simple. Percentages just don't apply.

I took it as extro instead of intro, I'm sorry. But I didn't feel anything on my toes.

Everything is okay. There's nothing for you to be concerned about.

I wondered, so here are my proportions:

Speakers 29%
Preamp 20%
Power Amp 15%
Table/Cart/Arm 18%
Phono stage 13%
Cables, interconnects 5%

This is a bit skewed since I got the power amp and table used at great prices, the speakers were new.
