The majority of my system is Audiogon purchaces -
Jolida SJ-502A tube integrated amp - $550
AQ CV6 w/DBS speaker wire - $100
Madisound AR.com speakers - S250
NAD C542 CDP - $250
Total - $1150
The only things I've bought new was speakers stands, and AQ Diamondback ICs and a quartet of powertubes (Tung-sol 6550) and a couple pairs of NOS 12AX7 and 12AT7 to play around with. Granted it's a modest system, but if I had to buy new, I still would be listening to my old consumer grade Onkyo/Boston Acoustic set-up, so Audiogon has definely allowed me to step-up to a higher level of listening enjoyment, and when you're semi-retired and on a fixed income, that certainly is appreciated.
