do most of you have more money into your music collection or your gear?just curious.
i am pretty sure the answer is gear..... i am at about 50/50, but i think my music collection will soon be overtaking my gear at some point this year..
i suppose one point of view one might say that investing in gear *is* investing in the music so that you can get the most out of your source material...
perhaps i should specify: gear being amps, preamps, speakers, dacs, cd players, turntables, reel to reel, etc.
music being cd, dvd, sacd, tape, vinyl, digital formats, etc.
