Oww.

But Krooger's been telling us you're a "digitalphobe" or some such.
Cash in those bits on something analogous!


[LP : CD : AMP : SPEAKERS]

The extra phono preamp didn't help...

You really are a sucker for all that hype about front ends, aren't
you?

"LP" includes: new table; used arm; used high end cartridge (at 20% of
new); used power supply; and a high end preamp.

IOW, sucker bait.

"CD" is a demo model
and a relative bargain at one tenth the price of the ultra high end
DAC that uses the same design.

IOW, more sucker bait.

And this changes my claim how?

Things look a bit skewed because of the used integrated amp, not that
it was expensive when new.

Speakers???

I suppose I should look for a high end integrated to make my
proportions look better, but if you look at new prices you get this:

6 : 1 : 15

Not so bad...

This is supposed to mitigate the excess money spent on the front end?
