The 2014 System Value Poll
 

It has been five years since our original System Value Poll. Lets revisit this interesting topic and discover how we have grown....or not. Lots of changes happen to audio systems in a five year period. I know my main system has shifted from the living room system in the 2009 poll to my studio system today. Big changes happened.

Let us know what the total value is of your main system. This can be a two channel system or a multichannel system. Whatever you consider to be your main sound system. Do not combine multiple systems in your total. Take a good long look at what you have in this system, i.e. amps, preamps, tuners, receivers, DAC's, transports, CD players, SACD players, servers, NAS network players, turntables, tonearms, phono cartridges, phono preamps, equalizers, isolation devices, racks, power conditioners and AC regenerators, outlets, surge devices, interconnects, digital cables, power cables, speaker cables, acoustic panels, bass traps, diffusors, universal remote controls such as iPads - URC - Philips - other remotes, wireless streamers, record cleaners, etc. What is installed in your main system all counts toward it's total value. Pricing is to be calculated at retail, even if you purchased the gear pre-owned. Total main system value does not include music library values or estimated future purchase values, only the value of your sound system as it is today.

This is strictly an unscientific poll based on voluntary member responses. You don't have to post if you just want to vote in the poll. Voting is anonymous so no one knows who voted. The wife will never find out. :)

Lets see how much value is represented in our members' main sound systems.

Vote at your own risk...

Ivan.......I hear you. These days I keep a spreadsheet on each of my sound systems so it isn't quite as big a shock as it used to be when I got serious about figuring out the money I have any of the sound systems.

Dan... I just got done updating all of mine.

Ivan.......I keep my records in Excel spread sheets. Updating is simple, efficient, and accurate. I used to do it by hand in a notebook but it started getting a bit tedious.

Dan
There are things I have decided over the years that I will no longer post. What I paid for gear, the value of my system or security precautions are in that group. Many members here can make a good guess.

I'll play along though :thumbsup:

Jim........I completely understand, although voting in the poll is completely anonymous.

I ROFLed at the "wife won't find out" remark big time ;)

I truly do not know how much I have into the main system. I guess I'll have to break out the spreadsheet and my receipts.

Curse you, Dan!!! :D
