What is the current retail cost of your reference system?


It would be interesting to share this as I am not sure some of us understand how decisions are made within the framework of cost and resolution. Please avoid used prices as that muddys the water significantly. Also cabling costs would be revealing as well if willing to share.

I too thought the percentages were interesting, and I do keep a spreadsheet although I gave up on calculating losses selling gear. I bought everything I have now new.

I dont like sharing how much I paid for anything, but I've listed all components in my profile.

Integrated Amp 15%

TT 15%

CART 12%

Phono stage 9%

Speakers 31%

Streamer/DAC 7%

Cables 6% (This would be much higher if I didn't switch mostly to Zavfino, sold the more expensive Nordost cables)

Isolation 5%
