Are you really interested in 'Hi-Fi'?

[Charles Darwin]

Hhmm… good question.

I've got 16 days 15hrs in my itunes folder, all bought as cd, and about 1500 bits of vinyl.

On the other side of the equation I've invested about £2,700 in my stereo.
BUT had I bought my amps etc new and purchased the speakers instead of building them it would be somewhere north of £15,000.

Yes, hurray for me! I already have one cabinet finished (minus the finish). I had some started that are just right for the job. the donors are visible in the second pic.

Um, well.. cough, cough. I wasn't going to go there. I do not have all the music I've ever bought, tho. Like an idiot I sold all my vinyl years ago for a pittance. And I've had 100+ CDs stolen several times.

Now in the computer age I could sell off all my CDs and still have all the music, tho I have no desire to do so at the moment. Could also sell off all the extra audio gear and still have the present system. But where's the fun in that??

Nice. Using the stock crossovers?

Mine was the total hifi expenditure.

Thinking about it, make it £400.

I've spent much more than this on guitaring.

Dont get me wrong, $600 is all I have left

I was rocking a $6k Quad 99 system2 years. Then throw in some unmedicated bipolar mania and I have an old Kenwood KA-405 amp, Marantz ST450 tuner, my iMac for digital, small DAC and a pair of (Wharfedale 104's sold yesterday) minimus 7's.

New speakers are on their way though and I'm waiting on some carbon fibre to make a LT arm for my DD TT
