Probably about $8k worth will be kept. Could settle quite happily for a single setup if I had to with a $1k budget Just realised I meant to reply to this. Fair enough. Was just curious to see how it compared with what I've spent on audio gear. Turns out I've spent just shy of $12k for my current setup (speakers, amp and sub)...but the system as a whole retailed for $35k. So I reckon I've done alright haha. Still be a sickening amount of money for most people to have spent on HiFi gear though, I can appreciate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounded down heavily to get to the $20k to reflect close to my actual costs. 4 minutes ago, .Stripes. said: Still be a sickening amount of money That's what gave me a huge shock when I did the figures and got me talking about the gear. Mine was over over about 15 years though, so while there were some $K spends there, they were spread out 13 minutes ago, .Stripes. said: Still be a sickening amount of money for most people to have spent on HiFi gear though And chicken sh#t amount compared to what "serious" rich karnts will spend Hell - they'll actually buy a power cable that costs many multiples of your systems RRP One thing I have noticed though - it costs exponentially more each time you want to go up a level :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you turn on the surround stuff, you're pretty much on a level playing field with my gear as far as it goes. The barber shop clip, game surround audio, virtual surround etc it's the tech and how it works with your head/ears/brain that makes the most difference, not the actual headphones on your head. Unless you have RGB on your headphones of course - that's a definite game changer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant zero volume - so I got a set of headphones. Before too long I was preferring wearing and listening through them compared to using the computer speakers. I thought I was strange. Til I looked at forums etc and found... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
