I would be interested to see how ppl spread their costs across
components. Here's mine, expressed as ratio. I nominated CD in this
example as it's my most used source.

[CD : AMP : SPEAKERS]
1 : 6 : 12

Speakers ------ 17%

Pwr Amp ------- 17%

PreAmp -------- 18%

CD ------------- 17%

Subw ----------- 15%

Pwr
Conditioner ------ 8%

Just goes to show that you can't ask JBorg a simple question and get a
proper answer. Ask for 3 numbers and he gives you six. Furthermore, it
appears that he apparently can't do the simple math required to express his
results as the ratios that were asked for.

I don't think 3 numbers were specifically asked for. Just a breakdown on costs
of components. His numbers do break down into simple ratios. Lionel was the
only one to screw that one up. Even his was a minor screw up. There is the
missing 8% though. Accessories? Bad math?
