Are you in the over 30 K club??

I read in Stereophile that their average reader has invested around $33,000 in their home audio system. Wow, thats a load of money. In your observation does this seem accurate? My system consist of Krell, VPI, Dynavector, Audio Physic & Cardas and I put in together here on Audiogon for around $3,500 lightly used.
Are you in over $30,000 club? That's not list prices it's what you actually have paid.

I've spent waaaayy over 30K, but most of it has been wasted.
I sold off most things and kept my favorite components which cost about 9K total. So, I spent about 50K to get 9K of stuff that works well- that's about 80% money wasted.

8550c....you're not alone on this....a love of music and a need for hi end audio have nothing to do with each other.

Stubby,
It also would work the other way around
I doubt that when I'm enjoying that last breath of air I'll be thinking, "If I wouldn't have spent 30k on a music machine I'd have been happier."

You can't take it with you

Easy. Even with the deals I got on used equipment. I consider it my Beamer! And my boat!
