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?

Dormer requested a ratio.
A ratio is a ratio. The most popular in the world is named "percent" this
is the one I use like Mr. Borg... But it seems that he lost some bolts &
nuts in way.

Yeah but you didn't break yours down to the lowest common denominator.
JBorg's were broken down so all one had to do is ignore the % symbol and
the answer was there. Yours required a little bit of extra math to be
finished. No big deal.

You should stop to walk on the "cordes"...

You should try to make sense.
