How much does your system retail for?

I have to say that I've kept it a bare minumum and it would still retail for over 6K for system #1, System number 2 is SS and with the exception of a Music Hall CDMMF-25 and a rarely used MF 308 integrated is all vintage so its price is even less. I'm going to sell the MF one of these days because I don't use it very much. In any event I've given up on making significant upgrades to the Tube system because I refuse to spend that kind of money. I live vicariuosly through others whose money mangers have gone their seperate ways.

What your system retails for and what you pay are very different I hope. Thank goodness you can buy used on Agon. I would have to guess its entirely too personal to reveal what you spend but high end seems to have price points just like everything else. $1,000 $5,000 $10,000. There is no magic number I would venture to guess that most sane Agoners spend about $5-10,000 for their primary system going by the prices charged at retail, otherwise pick a number. $2,000 CD/TT 2-5K for amps similar numbers for speakers all new full priced.Nah make that $15-20k total for the "audiophile" $1,000 for the newbie.

Update new used pre and new tube power amps total now $17,000

Whelp puppies I have been sent into exile my "big rig" with $7K speakers and $ 5K amps total about 20 grand is in my one time home. I will be reunited with iot but not sure when? Current rig about $1600-1800 total mostly vintage except speakers. My collection of just 5751s easily eclipses that value if taken at "retail" which for tubes isn't all that easy to pin down. I own quite a few, even here, couldn't pass up a good buy on a quad of NOS Sylvania triple mica blackplates.
