I was given a pair of GS-1000s. How about you?

Include the price and the name of the item.

Sorry I forgot to ask the price in my first post, and I just edited it. How much were those?

Enough that my wife still shakes her head and questions my sanity.

Raez, I hate you with a passion.

I'm going to take a leap of faith here and guess that it was a clever play on words for a house, seeing as I don't think Duggeh is a multi-billionaire. I say house, because the turntable sits on top of a table, which is on the ground. Or maybe it was a super-expensive turkish rug?

If not, you sir, are insane and should seek immediate medical attention.

@ Ishcabible

I don't blame you one bit.

I didn't deserve these headphones at the slightest. But to make you feel better, most people think the GS-1000s are overpriced.

But I've always wanted Grados, and I've been lusting for their past and current flagships (PS1, HP1000/2, GS1000, and so on). Your GS1000s certainly weren't overpriced on your end. How do they sound, by the way?

Why don't you deserve them? Are you a hoodlum?

Wish I had the budget you guys have.

Turntable - Marantz tt-6000 with a Grado prestige black cart.
~$110
Reciver - Marantz 2220B
$112.

So close its not really something I wish to separate. Though I'm looking for a CD player, likely will be worth more than the table and receiver combined.

I'm interested to see what the most expensive component averages out to be. I predict the headphones will be pretty high on that list.

Are you asking for the list price or the price that was paid for the equipment?
