Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs

Details are on my system page. Basically the LP setup is Galibier Gavia, Triplanar and Siggwan arms, Benz and Denon carts.  Commercial speakers are Spendor SP-100.

Here's a different perspective.  My turntable setup has a MSRP of $30,500.  This includes one table, two arms and two cartridges.  My two pairs of speakers are harder to calculate but I paid a total of $5650.  The speakers include a DIY unit so that throws off the comparison a bit.  But if I just use the commercial set of speakers, the total speaker investment was $4000.  Granted that was 15 years ago, but the current model (supposedly not as good) is $12,000.

Any way I look at it, I have considerably more invested in LP playback than in speakers.  And the vinyl numbers don't include the phono preamp.  That would make the ratio even more lopsided.

I certainly wouldn't recommend that everyone should have more invested in LP playback than in speakers.  That is a personal decision each person has to make for himself.  However, I can say that if I had the same money to spend on a new system, I would probably make the same choices.  I would definitely choose the same speakers even if I had a much larger budget.
