Congratulations, Sdcampbell! Very well expressed. I see this equipment thing in terms of how much music I can get for less than is "supposed". The silver plated copper, teflon insulated wire that I use sells for 65 cents a foot in the surplus market. A friend of mine is using some and told me it's easily blowing away his $14/ft Kimber 8TC. Amen to that.
How many weeks of income did your sys. cost?
How many weeks of after-tax income did your system cost? ie If your income is 100,000 per yr. and your system cost 25000 at street prices, than you spent 12 weeks paying for your system. Income is relative and I was wondering what the average audiophile spends in terms of weeks of income on his system. Mine is 12 weeks.
