Anyone else feel left out?

'Gons talk a lot about equipment (new or used) that is way beyond the financial means of most people. Thousands of dollars for a Dac? Ten thousand for a pair of mono blocks?
The pros and cons of 15k a pair speakers? Cabling that costs as much as college tuition? How about a system where the cd player is no more than $500, pre and power amp no more than $500 each, speakers no more than $1k a pair and cabling no more than $10 a foot. Jazz and classical music will be enjoyed. This would be a system that would still be superior to most home systems, but would be within the reach of a wider range of music fans. What are your recommendations for a system of new equipment, used equipment or a mix of both?

Im pretty stoked on my rig and it certainly diddnt break the bank

Denon AVR3805 MSRP 1200 paid 850
Denon DVD2900 MSRP 1000 paid 600
Jm Lab 707S, MSRP 700 paid 450
2 Velodyne DLS4000 MSRP 1200 paid 700

then i got some crap surrounds and my amplifier is currently on the fritz, gotta take it in... thinking of that, i better call the place and see if they think they can fix it.

all in all though it was relativlky inexpencive as far as hi fi systems go and im pretty damn pleased with it.... sure do miss the amp tho
