Are you in the over 30 K club??

I read in Stereophile that their average reader has invested around $33,000 in their home audio system. Wow, thats a load of money. In your observation does this seem accurate? My system consist of Krell, VPI, Dynavector, Audio Physic & Cardas and I put in together here on Audiogon for around $3,500 lightly used.
Are you in over $30,000 club? That's not list prices it's what you actually have paid.

I enjoy my music system just fine but doubt that this hobby could ever deliver 30k of enjoyment.
Interesting quip. I don't know how to measure that - "30k of enjoyment".

Not even close, not even at retail. But I'm married with horses.

Metralla - Interesting quip. I don't know how to measure that - "30k of enjoyment".

30k of enjoyment would be equal to 30 short vacations or a car which would provide at least tens years of traveling to see among other things my grandchildren or fund a trust for their education or a down payment on a dream home which would shelter me and my 10k system. It could take me around the world several times if not in low-earth orbit. But to spend serious money on a neurotic past time - not me.

But seriously I doubt that when I'm enjoying that last breath of air I'll be thinking, "If only I'd spent 30k on a music machine I'd have been happier."

Just call me a skinflint. :)
