Somewhere in the neighboorhood of $1300 for the audio, another $1000 or so for the communications gear.
The home setup is what drains the money quickly, though -
- Klipsch Forte II floorstanders...$600
- heavily modded AR turntable...$700 with cart. and tonearm
- Adire Audio Rava powered subwoofer...$500 shipped from Wigginz
- Bottlehead SET kit...$400, upgrade the coupling caps for $70 or so in parts
- Canare 4S11 star quad speaker interconnects, Knukonceptz RCA cables...$100 overall for cabling
- Undecided line level and phono preamp...$600-800 depending.
- Complete cost to re-tube the entire setup...at current market values, $100 or so every three years.
