I've got a modest collection of ~400 CDs and a two-channel system that cost twice what I've invested in software. It doesn't bother me that the ratio is tipped in favor of the gear I play the music on, precisely because the music has primacy. The human capacity for music astonishes me; it deserves to be heard on the best system one can get his or her hands on. I find it difficult to place a dollar value on the experience. That's not to say I don't weigh carefully the 'value' of a piece of gear, jsut that the value of piece of gear isn't monetary alone. To that end, I find it worthwhile to seek out the gear that satisfies my need. The trick is to be satisfied once you've achieved it, or at least to engage in the 'not better or worse, just different' approach to the gear. I think you're right that judgement often slips in where assessment is better deserved.

Regards.
