How much have you invested in your audio set up? Show photos.

I wonder why (to the man with a McIntosh avatar ;))

It's just a pic I took from my MC2255 that came out good enough to use for an avatar lol; But I could not care less what the other guy spends or doesn't spend on their chosen hobby and I can't see why it should be a concern for anyone on what anyone else here may or may not spend:dunno:
 
Cost? It's a lifetime of tripping out on an addition or upgrade. How do I estimate the cost of custom built Altec MLTL speakers? FWIW, I'm tri-amping right now and just upgraded my active crossover but do you want the cost of the other two I have, the equalizers I don't use and the amps that are in rotation? Ball park would be $1500 for the electronics and $1500 for the speakers. I'm about to make a custom rack using chunks of marble and some wood. I'd have to pay a guy $200 to carry it in the house and assemble. The slabs were free but my sawing must have a price, impossible to calculate. If I had to install t for someone, it would be over $500. Beyond that, the additional cost of DIY cables and wire. I have 25' of silver Vampire cable I haven't had the heart to cut but that is on the to-do list. Figure $200 of cables and wire. The price of media is incalculable, vinyl, discs of all sorts, digital stored on devices. $4 K for the total would be a conservative figure. My images are locked up at Photobucket but I'll try to attach some here.

Back in the late '70s early '80s, I had $2300.00 invested in my gear. It's all gone now. Carver, Nakamichi, Dual, RG, Advents, and AR.
 
Ok, I'll even let you listen....

What's that song playing? Beautiful!

Edit: found the YouTube link with the title. Sarah McLachlan - Possession Rabbit in the Moon Remix

Sure that's the right title? Trying to find the piano mix.

Wow that was hard to find a Youtube copy

Sarah McLachlan- Possession (piano version)

Cool now I'm finding some live ones

Here is live with a band and how we normally hear this version on the radio.

Sarah McLachlan - Possession (Live in Montreal)


Sarah McLachlan - Possession (Official Video)

 
@4-2-7 thanks for that. I knew of her from an old club track "Delerium - The Silence" and didn't know her own stuff was equally as beautiful. Gorgeous and slightly haunting vocals. Love it.

Found the track on Spotify too and playing it now.

Now need to find the album on LP.

Edit: wow that is not an entry level LP. Found one on the auction site for $139 and it went up from there.
