Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs

My analog setup is roughly 250% of my speakers and cables.  I do not subscribe to any theory other than the weakest link in the chain Jmcgrogan mentions.  My speakers are Thiel CS6 which happened to be priced reasonable all things high end considered.  

Hmmmm 😬

Wow thats so important(not).

Ebm it was as i stated a thought i had in the night ,it wasnt meant to be important . But thanks for the comment .. 

My cartridge cost the same as my speakers (in my "reference" system) and both cost me more than any other component, by a lot. The turntable adds more, and cost more than the speaker cables, so in the end the analog front end cost a bit more than speakers.  

I didn't set out to do things that way, but in hindsight it probably makes some sense. The cartridge and speakers are the two transducers in the system, and changing energy from one form to another (mechanical to electrical and back again) is arguably more difficult to do well than passing the signal along and amplifying it. So if that's true, then spending more on those two components would be justified.
