are you feeling ok John? If you bring this into a smaller perspective things go upsidedown. Lets say you go to a friends and he has 50k in vintage music or he has 20k in a nice audiophile system. OK. 20K for stereo gear is a tonn of money but if you want to be a audiophile this is also entry level to a lot of single pieces.
so lets say a guy goes out and spends what? 3,000 on a nice sound system? I'm not sure if you go to a high end audio dealer you can go home feeling 5k lighter and say you bought a "stereo" ok, anyway.
3K for entry level other than a Target or Wolly world light show bass effects stereo.
3K, this means maybe 1k for a receiver... ( ick, receiver?) 1200 for some speakers, 400 for a CD and 200 for Turntable and a hundred for some wire. plus tax is over 3K! whadayagot? save that thought....
When I was younger a colection of 100 albums was something nice. surely not a "real collector" but a 100 disk would be a nice entry level place to be.
Lets say we buy a hundred or a few more with a sale now and then. and we have a 100 disk's we can spin and they cost retail of 18 a piece. you got 3K in a stereo and 1800 in tunes.
3K in gear. just over half that in media.
I understand yor position. think about the numbers though. It's a tough nut to get a good system that cost significantly less than your media.
By the same token a person with a pair of Martin Logans costing 100K and 3 cd's, an SACD, 2 LP's and a video disk should not be taken seriously.
your right of course; and I felt need to write a paragraphlongsentance.
whererd day get dis bread anyway?
