What percentage do you spend on each component?

Jim is right. The old rule of thumb was 50% on your speakers and divide up the remaining half amongst everything else. Then the pendulum swung to the "source is everything" perspective. Now it seems to be swinging back a bit and perhaps will settle in the middle. That being said, it is the easiest thing in the world to demonstrate that speakers have more impact on the sound than any other component in the signal chain. That doesn't mean you need to spend huge amounts on your speakers, only that you should choose them with care.

I actually mistated my question a little. I didn't mean to say "what did you allocate?" but rather "how did it end up?", since I don't think most of us plan how much we're gonna spend ahead of time.

just happened this way
vpi tt 44%
krell phono 9
pass pre & power used 22
cardas, straighwire & kimber 11
focus audio speakers 13
5 cd changer .005
nikko gamma 1 tuner used .005

Well I'm here to skew the numbers for you all.

SCAD player: 11%
pre-amp: 6%
amps: 15%
speakers: 14%
cables/conditioning: 49%
tweaks: 5%

Oh,yeah. I forgot to put in power conditioning. I have a large solar power generation system that keeps a large battery bank charged for all my daily uses, including my audio system. None of my stuff runs off of street power, since I'm not hooked up to the power pole. I provide all my own electricity. My entire audio system, except the CD player, runs off 12vdc batteries. No grunge, no RF, no ripple, no step-down transformers, no rectifiers, and no power failures. Just flat clean DC power. And no power bill, either.

Does this count toward my audio system budget percentage? If so, I am pushing 50% for power conditioning, and my system cost just jumped to about $25K.
