Stereo Hustlin'

I sat down and added up what I've spent and what i've made and was quite surprised to find out that I'm actually $100 ahead as far as my current system goes. Here is a chronicle of my exploits:
Bought KLH Model Fours ($10) Status: Kept those babies.
Technics SA-350 ($8) Status: Sold for $32
Realistic Nova 8B's ($10) Status: Sold for $60
Sansui 2000A ($20) Status: Sold for $100
Kenwood KR-720 ($5) Status: Sucked. Sold for $35.
Yamaha R-300 ($10) Status: Sold for $41
So at this point I am up $205 and here is what I have now and what I spent:
Realistic Optimus 800s ($45. $20 for speakers/$25 for refoam)
Realistic Optimus 5Bs ($30)
Harman Kardon HK 550 vxi ($30)
Which leaves me ahead $100 and I have a pretty sweet stereo for the time being. However, it is debatable whether my current setup sounded better than the one consisting of the Sansui 2000A and the Nova 8Bs.

Jeez; I think; in fact I know I spent more than that in my first few months in this hobby back in the early 70's. I've thought many times of what I've spent on gear and media from day one; a few decades ago. Like lots of guys here I'm thinking I really don't want to know the actual amount that's been spent.
 
Well, I guess my one flip of a Krell amp beat all yours combined, but maybe your screen name has got mine beat. :D

You made out well !!! Pretty soon you will be flipping AR3's, Sansui G9000's, etc., and you will be ahead by thousands...keep up the good work, but remember to enjoy the music too.
